Georgia's Tallest Mountains
This section lists the 11 tallest mountain peaks in Georgia. To be on this list, a mountain must rise at least 100 feet (about 30 meters) above the land around it. This is called its topographic prominence. All these super tall mountains are found in five counties in northeast Georgia.
Some of these mountains have clear, pointy tops, while others are high spots along a long ridge. You might find different lists of Georgia's highest mountains elsewhere, but this one includes all these important peaks!
