    Tips

    December 5, 2023

    There is some debate about the exact nomenclature of this mountain (usually depicted as a ridgeline running between the Nittany Valley and the Penns Valley). But no matter what you call it the views from the lookout point at the summit are well worth the climb — and as long as you're looking at the peak that stands above Penn State University, you're looking in the right place. The university's mascot, the Nittany Lion, is actually named in honor of this mountain.
