Hyner View Vista

   The vista at Hyner View takes in a wide view of the forested Pennsylvania mountains and the West Branch of the Susquehanna River as it runs through these rugged mountains of the Allegheny Plateau.  Hyner View is one of the many spectacular vistas in Clinton County, Pa.

This photo is looking down river.  The view here is so wide it took over four photos to get it all.

 Here is the next photo to the right  -  looking out across the river.

   This next photo shows the Gold Star Mothers Bridge as it crosses the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.  The village of Hyner is on the right side of the river just beyond the bridge and North Bend is out in the distance beyond the curve in the river.

 Here is the next (to the right) photo of the view from Hyner View.

What a view!
Oh, and to add to that view... often there are hang gliders soaring around, since this is a popular hang glider jumping-off place.

The C.C.C. Monument At Hyner View

   I stopped at Hyner View the other day to take in the view and watch hang gliders jump off the mountain.  At the time I was there no one was hang gliding, so I took some photos of the C.C.C monument at Hyner View.

  I'll post some hang glider photos in the near future.
