  • 6. Nantahala National Forest North Carolina Mountains
    The Nantahala National Forest , established in 1920, is a national forest located in the American state of North Carolina. The word Nantahala is a Cherokee word meaning Land of the Noonday Sun. The name is appropriate as, in some spots, the sun only reaches the floors of the deep gorges of the forest when high overhead at midday. The Spanish Conquistador Hernando de Soto explored the area in 1540, as did William Bartram in the 18th century. The Nantahala River flows through the Nantahala National Forest.
