Big Frog Mountain, Mountain summit in Cherokee National Forest, Tennessee, United States.
Big Frog Mountain rises to 4,224 feet, forming the highest point between the Big Bend in Texas and the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The mountain received its name from Native Americans, with the term Cohutta potentially deriving from a Cherokee word meaning Big Frog.
The wilderness area spans 45,059 acres across Tennessee and Georgia, representing one of the largest protected forest zones in the eastern United States.
Visitors can access the summit through three main trails: Wolf Ridge, Hemp Top, and Licklog Ridge, each offering different difficulty levels.
The mountain features a long, flat summit covered in rhododendron patches and sits at the intersection of the Tennessee Valley and Blue Ridge divides.
