The Peak to Prosperity Passage proceeds west from the Alston trailhead in Fairfield County across the impressive Broad River trestle. The view from the 1,100-foot-long bridge is spectacular, especially when bald eagles soar. Across the river in Newberry County, the rail-trail skirts Peak and cuts an easy swath through piedmont forest to Pomaria and Prosperity.

At about 2.5 miles into this trip, Penny Creek empties into the Edisto River where you will pass a number of rice plantations, and if you are adventurous, many small creeks to explore.
