Once you hit the upper ridge of Pine Mountain, you start to get sporadic views through the trees. This is a great final rest point if you are still pushing uphill. On a clear day, you can see up to 5 rows of rolling hills in the distance.

Pine Mountain viewpoint. Not the summit, but an excellent view nonetheless. We saw evidence of someone's firepit at the viewpoint, but it's likely NOT an authorized firepit. This is NOT a place to build a fire! The clearing for the viewpoint is wayy too close to the pines!
