Sauratown Mountains

The Sauratown Mountains, which are sometimes called "the mountains away from the mountains", are an isolated mountain range located within Stokes and Surry counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina.〔 The vast majority of the range is located in Stokes County, and even though the range occupies only 5% of Stokes County's area, it dominates the county's scenery from almost every direction. The Sauras rise sharply 800 to 1,700 feet (244 to 518 meters) above the surrounding terrain. The Sauratown Mountains were named after the "Sauras", a Native American tribe which lived in the area before European settlers arrived in the early 1700s.〔 The range consists of rugged, heavily forested ridges frequently broken by large quartzite rock cliffs which can be seen for miles. The Sauratown Mountains are known for offering some of the best rock climbing in North Carolina. The highest point in the Sauratown Mountains is Moore's Knob, which rises to 2,579 feet (786 m).
The range is home to Hanging Rock State Park, which was formed in 1936 and contains Moore's Knob and other prominent peaks in the Sauratown Mountains. From 1935 to 1942 the Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal agency, built a dam and lake in the park, as well as hiking and climbing trails and picnic and campground areas.〔
Uniquely shaped Pilot Mountain is also located in the range.〔〔 Pilot Mountain State Park encompasses the westernmost end of the range.
A hiking and bridle trail, known as the Sauratown Trail, crosses the range and interconnects the two state parks.〔〔〔〔 The Mountains-to-Sea Trail follows the Sauratown Trail, and it passes through both parks.〔〔
