Stone Mountain is not really a mountain but a quartz monadnock near Atlanta. Basically a stand alone quartz outcropping, just happens to be very big (and now controversial because of the carving of Confederate leaders on its face)
The Southern end of the Appalachian Mountains is in extreme North Georgia, and the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. It's also a short drive from Atlanta to the mountains of NC (including Dragon's Tail)
