Highlights
- This low mountain in the Rothrock State Forest commands beautiful views. For a long, gradually-ascending ridge walk, start at Greenwood Furnace State Park and hike as far as the hawk watch deck--9 miles each way. For a steep lower-mileage scramble, park along Turkey Hill Road and take the Pole Trail or the Turkey Trail to the summit.
- With a prominence of 560 feet, one of the highlights is seeing the birds of prey soaring below you.

"Great spring hike up from Greenwood Furnace State Park on the Standing Stone Trail--about 9 miles to the hawk watch deck. Fantastic views of Amish farmland below. An April snowstorm turned us back and kept us from spending the night up there. I've also done this trail in the summer, when it's really treacherous because the endless rocks underfoot are hidden by ferns and "jaggers" (as they say around here). It's much faster and more pleasant when there's less vegetation--more views, too." — briansnyder • Apr 18, 2022
