The Expedition
The signature event of SC7 is a 30-day expedition across South Carolina in July and led by world renowned explorer and South Carolina native, Tom Mullikin. Following the Palmetto Trail as the guiding pathway from the mountains to the sea, the annual expedition highlights the Carolina 7 — named for the seven geographic wonders unique to the Palmetto State.



South Carolina 7 is a partnership between two South Carolina based non-profit organizations:

South Carolina National Heritage Corridor
SCNHC promotes heritage tourism by connecting people to South Carolina’s history, culture, and landscapes through education, preservation, and partnerships.
Global Eco Adventures
GEA inspires environmental stewardship through hands-on expeditions and science-based training in some of the world’s most delicate ecosystems.
