Live near any fantasy-sounding places? List 'em here!

Grand Canyon?

Heck, what about Monument Valley?
Or the Petrified Forest?
Or the Painted Desert?
Tombstone?

California and Nevada have Death Valley...

Tons of fantasy name goodness in the desert Southwest US.

I've always liked the named of a place out on the coast here in NC...

Killdevil Hills

Gallows Road runs through Northern Virginia, where I used to live. Best. Name. Ever.

Yes I'll second that. (I drive it every work day.)

Well, as a historical place (I don't live near it), Harper's Ferry sounds very RPG-ish...it would be good for a town famous for its bards, which is why it got the name....

Other than that:
The White Mountain
The Blue Hills

My Friend lives on Rivendell Way... actually there is a whole area in Lake Forest Ca with Street names referencing LotRs.

I love real-world places that have exotic/unique fantasy-sounding names. As a kid, Death Valley in California just sounded very cool to me. As a DnD player, it could be the name of a place in Baator. Please list those you know here:

In my neck of the woods, there are:

> Foul Rift, NJ - a town in northwest NJ
> Spitting Devil (Spuyten Duyvil in Dutch) - a dangerous waterway just off the Bronx shore
> Fair Haven, NJ - sounds like Tolkien's Gray Havens
> Ironbound section of Newark, NJ - sounds like a warforged neighborhood

I too live in NJ. The only one that comes to mind off hand is Raven's Croft. It's not a town, but one of those housing developments/communities. I always liked the name.

Hmmm, not much around here, though we do have...

Thunder Bridge

Great Heck & Little Heck always sound somewhat Pratchett-y don't know if that counts.

They're probably the best, but most of the places nearby hail from at least medieval, but not particularly fantasy like (at least to me).

One not near me:

Ranelag (or Ranelagh?)

I have a good friend who lives in Midlothian, VA.

Rather Tolkien-esque, I would say.
