Jones Gap is one of the best day trips from Greenville South Carolina and Rainbow Falls is an awesome trail to explore in the spring or fall. The hike itself is pretty moderate and keep in mind that there is a day use fee for this park similar to most South Carolina parks.

We loved doing this in the winter since it was close to Greenville. Once we were done hiking, we headed into town for a beer and a bite to eat.

The hike is along the river for the first mile and then the second to the waterfall is a pretty decent ascent. All in all this is a great day hike!
