"Really well kept area at the top of this mountain. There are some plaques near the highest point with information about the mountain and the native plants. Make sure you find the right rock for the highest point lol" — emkabalka • Jun 12, 2022

"Got it on my third attempt! Finding a legal way up this mountain was not easy. Some of it is public land, but most of it is private. My first attempt took me on a trail that didn’t go all the way up, and my second attempt ended up at a No Trespassing sign. Finally did some map research and figured out how to summit via the electric line easement in State Game Land 166. Coolest thing about this mountain is that there was no evidence of anyone ever having climbed it! No graffiti, no beer bottles, nothing but rocks, and trees, and sky. Take Beaver Dam Road to the gate in SGL 166, walk three miles to the easement. Once on top, bushwhack to the ridge top boulder fields to the north of the easement. Nine miles round trip." — briansnyder • May 18, 2022

"Hiked the loop clockwise starting on Tub Mill Trail and eventually connecting with High Point Trail. Beautiful spring day, clear views from the observation tower. First of two high points on the day." — jodola • May 2, 2022

"Made quick stops at Mount Davis and Baughman Rocks on the last day of my weeklong road trip. This time, I made sure to climb the summit rock on Davis to make it official.
As it turns out, Mount Davis might not be the highest point in Pennsylvania after all. Recent LiDAR findings show higher elevations in other areas nearby, with the highest point being nearly a mile away from Davis and roughly a quarter-mile north of Baughman Rocks. Google's satellite view shows a large rock at 39.798428, -79.170881 that is my guess as to where PA's actual highpoint may be located -- it's only a hundred feet east of the LiDAR highpoint.
