The persistent, swift-flowing currents of the Nantahala River have cut a deep gorge through the mountains of western North Carolina. Some cliffs are so steep, they cut the light of the sun until it is overhead at high noon, prompting the Cherokee to name it Nundayeli, for “middle sun.” or “noon day sun”. Though time has wrought change, the majesty of landscape still fills the soul with awe. Now you can abide by this mystic river, joining those who have come before. |
