"The Unique Outdoor Shop"
Sunrift Adventures has been Travelers Rest’s hometown outdoor outfitter since 1980. For more than four decades, we’ve helped locals and visitors gear up for adventure with a curated selection of equipment for hiking, camping, climbing, paddling, cycling, and travel. Along with trusted gear and apparel, we offer expert guidance, bike and paddlesports rentals, and a welcoming hub for anyone looking to explore the trails, rivers, and wild spaces of our region.
Our Story
Sunrift Adventures was founded in 1980 by local outdoorsmen Bo Terry and Jim Kelly. The Upstate has seen tremendous change in the last forty-odd years, but Sunrift has stood the test of time and is still locally owned and operated by Bo Terry and his dedicated staff.
Our store is in a historic cotton gin in downtown Travelers Rest. A century ago, local cotton was ginned, bailed, and loaded onto cars along the Greenville and Northern Railway (also known as the Swamp Rabbit Railroad). The old railroad bed is now the vibrant Swamp Rabbit Trail, and the old cotton gin is now an outdoor outfitter like no other.
Travelers Rest is your gateway to the mountains and lakes of Upstate South Carolina and beyond. Avoid the congestion of big-box shopping areas, find expert local advice and cutting-edge equipment, and let our our dedicated and highly experienced staff help outfit you for your next adventure…big or small!

Really a one stop shop for everything from apparel, gear, and more! Great little clearance section too for fellow bargain hunters!

Awesome experience purchasing my new kayak. I would drive 3 hours again if we decide on another kayak for our fleet!

The guys in the shop were unbelievably nice and skilled and took care of my bike right away. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and their kindness.
