The 10th Mountain Division (Infantry) of the U.S. Army was activated in 1943 because of the need for mountain-trained soldiers who could endure the harsh terrain and weather conditions of winter-time Europe. Soldiers were trained with snowshoes, skis, mountain climbing equipment and sleeping in the snow without tents.

They are perhaps best known for their feats during World War II, leading the way into the mountains of Northern Italy, driving back the Germans after many weeks of heavy fighting. By the end of the war, the 10th had suffered more casualties than any other division.

The 10th Mountain Division is still fighting today in the mountains of Afghanistan.

This square granite monument is located on the grounds of Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort. Parking $5.00. Accessibility: Monday - Saturday 8AM to 8PM. Sunday 8AM to 7PM.

Also in the area: For a challenging dual-sport ride, ride 69 miles northeast to Lake City and pick up a leg of “The Devil’s Triangle, SR 116. Head 34 miles southwest to Petros. NOT for the inexperienced – difficult steep switchbacks and rough road which must be ridden with extreme care.
