From Clemson to the wilds of the Chattooga River on the GA-NC-SC border it is 45 minutes. I did plenty of weekend trout fishing up in those parts and it is some of the most beautiful country on the east coast. Places like Turtleback Falls are approximately an hour away.
That's fine and all but Athens is 1 hr from Toccoa and you never hear Georgia people describe Athens as in the mountains.
It's nice that it is close, but it's a bit disengenuous to claim Clemson is in it. A lot of places could claim things an hour away.

you can see the Blue Ridge mountain from the front of Tillman Hall overlooking Bowman field.
you can't see the mountains in Athens.
there is also not a lake right next to campus in Athens. only an ugly muddy river. boom

Clemson is 20 miles from legit mountains (thus the term foothills). Athens is closer to 50 miles from real mountains, and you have to cover 30-40 miles before you start approaching real mountains. Athens is a beautiful place, but it is not the foothills.
