Based on a photo I took from the Eastatoe Passage of the Palmetto Trail in Keowee-Toxaway State Park. It was a hot and sweaty summer day climb to the top of the hill that gave us this glorious view overlooking Lake Keowee. Was it ever worth it though! I've always thought the names seemed unfortunate until I learned what they meant. They are all native language names for the locale. The name Keowee is a Cherokee word that roughly translates to "place of the mulberries". The word Toxaway comes from a Cherokee Native American phrase. Popular tradition translates it as "land of the red bird" (from the phrase ta ha way), while some historical utility accounts translate it as "place of thunder". That all sounds better to me :-). Offered in a subtle golden frame.
