In the quiet northwest corner of the North Carolina Piedmont, the Sauratown Mountains Scenic Byway bends and dips for 72 miles through the gently rolling rural landscapes that surround the ancient Sauratown Mountains. Sometimes referred to as "the mountains away from the mountains," the Sauratowns are an isolated range with peaks that rise abruptly above the surrounding piedmont to over 2,500 feet.
