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 1700 feet (244 to 518 meters) above the surrounding terrain.
