Fall is nearly gone, but it's not too late for a last rendezvous with those bodacious colors we all long to see at the end of every summer. Even if some of those leaves have fallen, the rusty colors of fall foliage linger on, in the trees and on the ground. What better combination than a quick trip to the mountains to see long range views - with an amazing little lunch stop to add to the memories?
The Mountain House Restaurant at Caesar's Head is a fantastic little eatery a few hundred yards from the famously photographed Caesar's Head State Park overlook.
Enjoy the colors of the remaining fall foliage as you wind your way up the mountain for the two big payoffs: lunch and unparallelled views of the fall colors in South Carolina.
Time your visit during the lunch hour and enjoy all this "hidden" mountain treasure has to offer.
If it's warm enough, then you can sit outside on the covered porch and enjoy the crisp fall air.
Or enjoy a quiet and peaceful lunch inside, getting to know the locals that run the restaurant.
You won't go hungry at the Mountain House. Their menu includes beautifully crafted gourmet sandwiches, deli sandwiches, wraps and even a reuben.
Or choose a lighter fare and stick with one of their beautiful salads. Of course, you could just skip lunch altogether and enjoy some homemade fudge or a scoop of ice cream.
