Yonah Mountain (more commonly referred to as "Mount Yonah") is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest in the north of Georgia in the United States, between the towns of Cleveland and Helen.

The best roadside view of the bald brow atop the mountain is found at the West Family Restaurant parking lot as you proceed towards Cleveland right before the Yonah Mountain access road.

The US Army Rangers 5th Battalion trains regularly at Yonah Mountain. It has been a popular training ground for rock climbers across the United States for years.
