January 19, 2021Steep elevation leads to nice views of the river and valley. Rocky throughout, but well marked and maintained on the A.T. The trail that makes this a loop is unmarked but was relatively easy to follow.
January 16, 2021Awesome outlook. Way too many people.
January 12, 2021when you deal with hell during the dark time (work) and leave and go to a place you always see, but know the sky in the morning is forever changing you hike away to let your mind find your peace.
January 10, 2021#2 Hike of the New Year. EXCELLENT way to spend my Sunday afternoon on 1/10/2021. A little congested towards the top of the mountain which made it sketchy due to the narrow rocky pathways and several icy spots. However, people were pleasant and considerated making space for others when needed. Dog friendly & free parking. Follow the white tree markers to get to the wonderful view at the top!! Just be careful! Completed hike just under 2 hours with 5-6 short rest breaks along the way.
January 9, 2021Lovely short hike with a great view at the top. Hiked at noon - TON of (FREE) parking available in a giant dirt lot. 1.45hrs to hike it, and it was worth it. Moderate difficulty level is correct. Does get pretty rocky on some steep parts, so be VARY careful on your way down especially if it’s recently snowed.
January 5, 2021January 4, 2021January 2, 2021Tips to folks going up in winter - main trail is generally fine, just watch your step. Once I got to the top, I followed the AT east toward a lower rock I heard about. Nice view of the Susquehanna and Peters (I think?) Mountain from the lower rock, but the trail below it was pretty steep and REALLY treacherous with ice and mud and a precipitous drop on one side. If you choose to go that way in the winter months, be SUPER careful.
January 1, 2021Very rocky trail. lightly trafficked. great view.

December 12, 2020Really nice hike with decent elevation. It’s a 2.1 mile loop but I was able to follow the AT trail and add another 1.5 miles to it. Foggy day and rain up top made it a little slippery coming down.
December 11, 2020Very Rocky. Easy-Moderate
December 11, 2020Nice to be in the woods. Once you reach the top portion of the trail, you can't hear the traffic so enjoy it!

November 26, 2020November 21, 2020November 17, 2020Great trek up, lots of leaves, so coming down was a challenge. Great views, lots of dogs in the trail. Great day trip!
November 9, 2020November 9, 2020November 9, 2020A little narrow at some steep points, making it a little difficult to pass people going in the opposite direction. The view at the top is amazing though.
