Currahee Mountain, Mountain peak in Stephens County, Georgia, US
Currahee Mountain rises 800 vertical feet from the local terrain to reach an elevation of 1,735 feet as the southernmost peak of the Blue Ridge chain.
The mountain served as a critical training ground for parachute infantry during World War II at Camp Toccoa, where soldiers ran the challenging three-mile course.
The name derives from the Cherokee word 'quu-wa-hi', reflecting the mountain's solitary position in the landscape of northeast Georgia.
Visitors can access the summit through Currahee Mountain Road from Dicks Hill Parkway or hike the one-mile trail from the base parking area.
The mountain features multiple climbing sections including The Brick Wall, The Small Wall, The Slab Wall, and The Buzzard Wall with various technical routes.
