Description
The Sauratown Mountains, North Carolina's most easterly range, stand as a bold contrast to the surrounding rippling hills of the piedmont. Named for local Native inhabitants, the ancient Sauratown Mountains have been well worn by eons of erosional elements, but still stand tall among the foothills.
Known as Jomeokee to the Saura Indians, Pilot Mountain rises 1400 feet above the rolling plains. Seen from most any direction, the solitary mountain is capped off with two prominent peaks. Most Pilot Mountain State Park visitors are treated to nearly eye level views of Big Pinnacle, an immense knob with bare rock sides and a top covered in thick greenery. Little Pinnacle is close by, connected to its big sister by a long saddle. Once on top, park visitors are treated to marvelous views of the Piedmont Region.
