Mountain Vistas On Grugan Hollow Rd

   Clinton County, Pa has some beautiful mountain vistas.  Three of these vistas are on Grugan Hollow Road in Sproul State Forest.  Here is a photo of the Pennsylvania Mountains from an unnamed vista just west of Kendig Vista.

 This part of Clinton County is in the Allegheny Plateau.  Notice how the mountain tops are mostly flat with rugged valleys that are carved down into that high plateau.
Here in Clinton County the mountains are flat-topped with steep valleys
 I took the next photo to illustrate the flat, expansive plateau with its network of steep-sided valleys.  This photo is from Kendig Vista which is marked with a sign along Grugan Hollow Road.

   East from Kendig Vista there is a spot right on Grugan Hollow road where you can see Hyner View.  Hyner View is the light colored spot on the edge of the mountain in the distance.... about 1/3 of the way into the photo from the left.

Route 120 and the West Branch Susquehanna River are out of sight in the deep valley near the center of the picture.
   What a pleasure to look out through the trees and over the Mountain Laurel to...
.... take in the views of our Pennsylvania mountains.
