A snake so vast that its shadow darkened the Nantahala gorge was said to stretch from cliff to cliff across the river. The people abandoned the valley out of fear of it.

The account
The name Nantahala comes from Nun'daye'li, 'middle sun', because the high cliffs shut out the sun until nearly noon.
