Pilot Mountain, peaking at 2,421 feet (738 m) above sea level, is one of the most distinctive natural features in the state of North Carolina. It is a remnant of the ancient chain of Sauratown Mountains. The Saura were the earliest known inhabitants of the region. Its original Native American name is Jomeokee, for "great guide" or "pilot” a very useful landmark for the Native Americans as well as later European hunters throughout the region.
This weekend's adventure took me up to Pilot Mountain, North Carolina to visit my daughter. Pilot Mountain is located just outside of Mount Airy, also known as"Mayberry," which is the home of the Andy Griffith Show. Autumn is in full swing up there making for some very pretty scenery!
