Things to Do
Named for the Saura Indians who were early inhabitants of the region, the Sauratown Mountains are the remnants of a once-mighty range of peaks. Over many millions of years, wind, water and other forces wore down the lofty peaks. What remains of these ancient mountains is the erosion-resistant quartzite, which now supports scenic ridges and knobs, including Moore’s Knob, Moore’s Wall, Cook’s Wall, Devil’s Chimney, Wolf Rock and Hanging Rock.
