Pennsylvania mountains

"A slippery climb to the undramatic but serene summit of Dowd Hill. The snow underfoot was deep with a crisp, slippery crust, which made the ascent at least a little challenging in 18 degrees. This is above 1,500 feet and on public land, so it checks two of my boxes. " — briansnyder • Feb 7, 2025

"This hill is in a city park. If you start at the bottom and take one of the hiking trails to the summit, it’s actually a decent climb. An old observatory presides over the summit in the majestic dereliction that characterizes Pittsburgh." — briansnyder • Feb 1, 2025

"A walk up the tower access road that was gated. Met an ATT worker coming down in his truck and had a nice chat about the summit area. Some nice historical info at the top about the fire tower, which I climbed up to the 2nd (highest) landing. There is a good view of the Delaware Water Gap area to the southeast. At 22' in height this is the shortest Fire / Observation Tower I have ever seen!" — SteveM_StickMan • Jan 17, 2025

"An early morning hike to this highest prominence mountain in PA. It also happens to be the High Point of Snyder County. Looks like a well known mountain bike trail area, judging by the tracks. No views anywhere along my hike." — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 21, 2024

"After exploring some of the old PA Tnpk., I found my way among the 7 or 8 radio towers up here on Sideling Hill Ridge. The fence by the fire tower has been moved so you can see the USGS Summit marker up close." — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 20, 2024
