Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! We visited two weeks ago, and DS found the area and campus very comfortable. He actually commented “It feels a lot like home–well…except for no mountains”. Of course, it was October–let’s see how he feels about it in August!

We were able to get to Oak Mountain state park and it was really nice, we also stopped another place close by there, Moss Rock Preserve (I think). It had a neat boulder field, and while there wasn’t enough water for the waterfalls to be impressive, it was still lovely. I think DS realized that elevation gain isn’t necessarily as important as he thought it was.
