If you have a well-socialized dog you may want to head straight down the hill into the off-leash area. For hikers, the best option is to take the Dick Bishop trail immediately to the right.

Keowee-Toxaway State Park is located just outside of the town of Pickens, SC.

(Thank you to the local volunteers who maintain this.) But we can’t follow that path north all the way to Santa Fe without dodging onto the street and skirting around parked cars, which means the current path doesn’t effectively connect the two towns of Encinitas and Cardiff.

George Champlin Sibley was an explorer who led this first expedition in 1811 (Dyson 1). The book “Oklahoma a history” has a map showing this explorers routes on page 49 (Baird and Goble 60). The path that Sibley created is very unique path. He starts toward the middle of the now state, Oklahoma. Then continues south for about twenty five miles, heads east for a bit and loops back north past the state line. Then about fifty miles later, heads south for around ten miles and is again past the state line. It’s a very interesting path that Sibley made. However, I wonder if the terrain had something to do with loops. Although, Sibley did maneuver around the Arkansas River the first loop, which leads me to think he may have just gotten turned around.
