3 miles up and 3 miles down, That was what the paratroopers who trained at Camp Toccoa was told. This is the mountain whose name means "stands alone" in Cherokee where they ran from Camp Toccoa and back. "Currahee" was their battle cry and motto.

Currahee Mountain is a mountain located in Stephens County, Georgia near Toccoa. It is the last (or southernmost) mountain in the Blue Ridge mountain range. Currahee appears to be derived from the Cherokee word gurahiyi, which means "water cress place" or may mean "standing alone." Currahee Mountain rises about 900 feet above the local topography and, with an overall elevation of 1740 feet, is the highest peak in Stephens county. Part of the mountain is in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
