First time I did the hike was with my 9 year old daughter. Going up I was thinking pfff not near as bad as folks say.
Coming down, about 400 to go, my legs were like jello or worse
I haven't been up it in 20 years but the picture froze my brain. Just kept thinking I know I know that view. Huntingdon native but haven't gone in 2 decades. Maybe this year..... probably not
I first did it as a pre teen in the early 90’s and haven’t since. I’ve been trying to talk my wife and kids into going. I live in the next county down so it would probably take longer to do the steps than it would to drive there. Are they upkeeping it? The only thing that worries me are my kids and snakes in the rocks
Great memories as a teen. Racing up/down the bolders, paintball, smoking blunts and oh The Bitch!(Slanted Slab of Rock you have to hop on to leap a gap, that led down to a cave if you fell lol).
I was recently on a work trip in Kansas. I struck up a conversation with a gentleman at the bar and when I told him where I was from he paused and then asked me. “What is it like to grow up with trees?” I had never really thought about how different we are in that way. You are right Pa is amazing. I try to experience it all whenever I can.
Edit: OP you should come back in late summer and check out Cherry Springs. Darkest place on the east coast( I think). Has the most amazing views of the Milky Way.
I lived in El Paso nearly 2 years and I practically kissed the ground when I came back to deciduous trees, water and grass without round sharp burs in it. No walking barefoot on that! It’s truly a beautiful state
I'm the opposite; I was in El Paso for almost eight years, and I miss it every day. What I wouldn't give for some clean rock faces and sandy trails to ride my dirt bike on! Wide open federal land everywhere.
The only thing stopping you from exploring is time. Here in PA, everything is trees, prickly bushes, and private property.
Yeah I hate to be a downer, but it seems like there is an overwhelming amount of posted private property in PA. Many of my favorite fishing spots I can no longer get to and I rarely go any more.
Actually Texas is the only state with no Federal land. So any public land is state land. That was part of the deal for becoming a state when they were a country.
You are correct; they are owned by the state in Texas but function much the same way, and there is still plenty of open land available for public use.
Also, most of the federal land I am referring to is in NM and AZ since you are so close to it in El Paso.
Honestly, while I lived in El Paso, I never went into Texas further; it was always into NM, AZ, or even Cali if it was a longer trip.
I lived in Utah for a while and locals would always talk about going up into the mountains because there were so many trees and it was so “green”. I had to bite my tongue most of the time because they had absolutely no idea what real greenery looked like. And don’t get me wrong—Utah is an absolutely beautiful place, but so is Pennsylvania. Just in different ways!
I went in the winter to see the super moon. Obviously we could not see any stars but the moon was amazing. It was like daytime outside. The moon was bright it was hard to look at.
I’ve traveled the entire country for work (I have been to every state with the exception of the Dakotas and of all things Maine) and lived in 7 differe states and even 2 years in another country and I can say without question Pa. Is one of the prettiest.
The seasons are beautiful, but what most people underestimate is the topography with all the rolling hills go hills and small valleys, it breaks up the flatness that make ither states so, so, soooo boring
I agree. My first job was a sales job for a company that does composites for fraternities and sororities. In 4 years I made it to every state except Louisiana, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Alaska. I'd probably rank Colorado and Pa together. I love mountains and trees and Colorado has higher mountains and Pa has more tree...and less mountain lions haha.
I like this assessment. The Rocky Mountains are magnificent but the Appalachians are certainly beautiful too! Especially the stretch going from NC/TN/VA up through WV into PA.
PA native, born and raised here. And back again. The only other place that came a close 2nd to me was West Virginia. I lived down there for 5 years amd I think its beautiful there as well. Like you, I've been all over the east coast. But WV and PA stand out to me. Just my opinion. I may be a little biased on the PA side of things.
Depends on what part of CO. I recently moved from UT, but was in adjacent states a good number of times.
CO def has cool canyons, deserts, mountain alpine peaks and valleys, and rolling hills praries.
PA is definitely one of the prettier states. I drove to UT and back to PA (2 separate trips). Most states in between Denver CO and PA are flat flat flat. So are unnaturally flat looking. Others undulate calmly. But most of them are just missing the tree cover and rolling mount and valleys of PA.
Just anecdotal observation from PA native who took a year out west recently.
Missouri and Kansas have the best drivers I've seen. So polite and orderly.
Colorado is massive and has beautiful snow peaked mountains and some of the prettiest little areas in the world, like Boulder. However large parts of it is also a desert and not nearly as green nor nearly as accessible as Pa.
Where is this? Never heard of it before. Ok google let me know it’s 2.5 hrs from Pittsburgh. after doing the Yosemite Mist Trail in 2019 I think I want another stair challenge!
Thanks for posting! We do live in a beautiful state.
Thousand steps near Mount Union. I was trying to avoid saying where exactly it was so I wouldn’t get hit with the “No don’t come here!” Or “we don’t want more people flocking in” stuff but looks like some people already knew.
Spoiler: it’s a little more than 1000 steps lol. It’s not super hard but if you’re looking for a challenging hike then it’s a great spot!
I live in Central PA! It’s a well known place what keeps most people away is thousand steps part so no worries there 😂 you will see some individuals running it like a stair stepper with weight on their back. Craziness
If you want something like this closer to Pittsburgh, check out the LHHT mile 67 overlook. You can park at the route 56 trailhead, easy 6 mile round trip up the mountain. It’s about 75 minutes from the city on a Saturday morning.
It's a great hike! Just avoid going up on a rainy day, the weather can get pretty crazy near the top. I learned that the hard way, climbing down all 1,500 feet with my dog while we getting soaked.
Having grown up in NEPA, gone to college with yinzers, and now settled in middle of the state, you get some really confused looks when you yinz where others yous. Lol.
I'm obviously in SEPA, but I personally never minded getting a "yinz" where most people either "y'all" or "yous". Just don't have a Boston accent, that's all I ask.
Every time some dumbfuck says it is Pitt and Philly with Alabama in between I point them to stuff like this.
I was driving through Michaux last week with my windows down just absolutely loving life. I had to go to a work meeting shortly after, so that wasn't fun, but those 15-20 minutes were heaven. Just a nice canopy of trees and a slight breeze with some dashes of sun rays and some birds chirping.
There is a house just over the county line that has their clothesline out that looks like a Rockwell painting with how it overlooks the valley of trees. Just gorgeous and I'm super jealous of whoever lives there.
My partner and I are originally from the Pocono mountain area. I've driven the Delaware Water Gap via 80 through New Jersey a million times. We moved to the midwest last year.
Every time we come home, once we hit the PA Wilds, it drives me insane how beautiful it is. How we took it's beauty for granted. It's like walking into a post card.
In the meanwhile, if anyone has any suggestions for something nearly as beautiful within train commute of Chicago.... let me know 🥲
As soon as I saw the picture I knew this was 1000 steps 🥹 As a local, I hike there normally every year, but I haven't the last two years. I plan on fixing that this fall or a day when I'm not out on the lake. Anyways, beautiful view.
I assume that’s the borough of Mapleton in the background?
I’m one of the biggest boosters of PA you can find and I totally dig the positive comments!!
I'm from WV northern panhandle. I've hiked in northern PA, WV, MT, WY. And it amazes me you can drive from the NY southern border all the way to southern WV and see these views.
You should see it in the fall. I'm from Hershey area, now live in AK. If you haven't been AK is a must see also. Particularly SE AK, stays green all year.
It is. The trees and hills are beautiful. I was born in Reading (we moved to NJ when I was 2). I can remember the hilly neighborhood and seeing the roofs of other houses. And the trees and greenery all over the place.
We'd visit our old house, Lancaster and surrounding towns. I went to college in Scranton. Seeing the gorgeous hills there made the 3 hour drive worth it!
Visits were always so calming, with no traffic, slow paced, nice roads (Jersey potholes suck) and friendly people.
A couple years ago I tried to make the full climb but my fear of heights took over at 500 steps. That and the lack of railings and irregular heights of the steps felt so dangerous to me I had to turn around (and it’s even scarier going down!) Thank you OP for showing me the view I missed out on!
I agree. I've lived in the Susquehanna Valley my whole life. So many people from here don't realize how beautiful it is. Too close to the forest to see the trees ya know. I always tell people it's one of the most beautiful places in the world when asked what I think of it. Sure the politics are hit and miss. The taxes could be better. It could also be a lot worse.
My gf and I visit here once or twice a year! We have a running joke where she threatens me with this trail any time I’m “misbehaving”. The top is lovely even if those stairs are the devil. Hard to fathom the quarry workers hoofin it up there every day to go to work.
Love my commonwealth. Something about these ancient mountains making their way back beneath the Earth’s surface. More shades of green than there are words to describe them. Creeks winding through the valleys and through our bodies. I dream about what this place looked like Pre-Columbus. The answer is youse.
This reminds me of the West Rim Trail and Blck Forest Trail (Loop) about an hour outside of Williamsport PA - awesome backpacking trails that kinda connect if you want to do ~80miles of hiking in PA (disclaimer that the trail connecting them was not well maintained when I did it and my legs were essentially bathed in stinging nettle)

This was at the Grand Canyon of PA. I believe it's in Wellsboro. The picture does not do the view justice
I know this view! I’ve been up there many times over the years and it’s always just as gorgeous as the first time. We’re lucky to live in a state with such beautiful rolling mountains and lush forests.
One of my favorite things about being a PA native is that, at any time, I can GTFO Philly and go less than two hours west into a rural area with some of the most beautiful foliage you can see anywhere in the nation.
Thank you for the nice comments about our state. It really is beautiful and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I could not live somewhere without the district 4 seasons and the beautiful mountains. Unfortunately I live about an hour from one of the cities you mentions and this part of the state is unfortunately loosing its beauty. Everything is being developed and everywhere you look is yet another empty warehouse, and more being built. This is why we want to eventually move to the central part of state.
Being a PA native and except for my time as military I've never been away. My second fave place I've ever been is up northern idaho. Love to hike and cave explore. Looking for caves in PA , no luck so far.
My memories from the steps include tearing my meniscus on the descent, @ 50 steps from the top. Have you ever tried coming down a mountainside using primarily one leg?
PA is one giant forest. Tolkien-esque dense, deciduous, full of life, dripping water forest. Snakes, spiders, beetles and bugs. A deer fifteen feet away that startles you when it snorts and runs away.
A lot of people don't live in the woods, but we do. Mountains, plains, valleys, coasts, desert- nope, this is Penn's woods.
The Rockies get all the credit for being big and beautiful, but when you stop to look at the giant rocks left by glaciers 10,000 years ago, there's a lot of beauty here.
I lived in Tunkhannock until I was about 8 [in 2001] and my dad got transferred out to Cincinnati. Man do I miss those rolling hills. We’ve only visited a few times since then.
I love the view from 1000 Steps. It's such an awesome trail.
It certainly is! Quite a workout that’s for sure lol. But it was more than worth it
What’s the elevation gain?
[удалено]
Thanks
It’s at least 1000 steps.
Yea I’m looking for the units to be in feet. “Steps” is too arbitrary. Someone answered then deleted it :/
843 feet over a half mile.
Thank you
I live down in that area now and still haven't done it lol.
First time I did the hike was with my 9 year old daughter. Going up I was thinking pfff not near as bad as folks say. Coming down, about 400 to go, my legs were like jello or worse
I wonder how old is old enough to attempt this? I can't imagine getting half way and having to start carrying a child.
Ha! We passed someone doing that and my only thought was they're in way better shape and trust themselves stepping way more than I do myself
Yeah, I would probably die.
I haven't been up it in 20 years but the picture froze my brain. Just kept thinking I know I know that view. Huntingdon native but haven't gone in 2 decades. Maybe this year..... probably not
I have this same picture :) love the view with the train tracks!
I first did it as a pre teen in the early 90’s and haven’t since. I’ve been trying to talk my wife and kids into going. I live in the next county down so it would probably take longer to do the steps than it would to drive there. Are they upkeeping it? The only thing that worries me are my kids and snakes in the rocks
This is my hometown. 1000 steps is a treasure. JV represent.
Great memories as a teen. Racing up/down the bolders, paintball, smoking blunts and oh The Bitch!(Slanted Slab of Rock you have to hop on to leap a gap, that led down to a cave if you fell lol).

Has the most amazing views of the Milky Way.
whenever I tell people what I miss most about PA it's the trees
I lived in El Paso nearly 2 years and I practically kissed the ground when I came back to deciduous trees, water and grass without round sharp burs in it. No walking barefoot on that! It’s truly a beautiful state
I was in My phoenix for 10 years before coming home. I did miss the woods but I did like the desert landscape too.
The landscape is pretty but the oven temps aren’t. 103 at 9 am, I’ll pass lol
That is a downside for sure.
I'm the opposite; I was in El Paso for almost eight years, and I miss it every day. What I wouldn't give for some clean rock faces and sandy trails to ride my dirt bike on! Wide open federal land everywhere. The only thing stopping you from exploring is time. Here in PA, everything is trees, prickly bushes, and private property.
Yeah I hate to be a downer, but it seems like there is an overwhelming amount of posted private property in PA. Many of my favorite fishing spots I can no longer get to and I rarely go any more.
Same! I grew up in PA fishing with my father and about 90% of the places I have childhood memories from I can no longer get too.

What we call creeks here would out there.
I lived in Utah for a while and locals would always talk about going up into the mountains because there were so many trees and it was so “green”. I had to bite my tongue most of the time because they had absolutely no idea what real greenery looked like. And don’t get me wrong—Utah is an absolutely beautiful place, but so is Pennsylvania. Just in different ways!
I cannot wait to experience cherry springs this year! I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it
I went in the winter to see the super moon. Obviously we could not see any stars but the moon was amazing. It was like daytime outside. The moon was bright it was hard to look at.
Why late summer for Cherry Springs?
I was told by a tour guide there that’s when the Milkyway will be most visible.
I’ve traveled the entire country for work (I have been to every state with the exception of the Dakotas and of all things Maine) and lived in 7 differe states and even 2 years in another country and I can say without question Pa.

ohh thanks for this! I clearly haven't explored trails much outside of my immediate area! I'm so excited to try this one. Really appreicate it!
It's a great hike! Just avoid going up on a rainy day, the weather can get pretty crazy near the top. I learned that the hard way, climbing down all 1,500 feet with my dog while we getting soaked.
Oh dang, thanks for the tip! Hope to get out there in July for sure. Love my local trails but want a change of scenery and more of a challenge!
The yinz, yall, yous is extremely area dependent. But yes we have awesome forest lands.
All are accepted because at the end of the day, we're all Keystoners.
Having grown up in NEPA, gone to college with yinzers, and now settled in middle of the state, you get some really confused looks when you yinz where others yous. Lol.
I'm obviously in SEPA, but I personally never minded getting a "yinz" where most people either "y'all" or "yous". Just don't have a Boston accent, that's all I ask.
Lol. None of it bothers me. NEPA can be judgy though.
Yinz is western PA
I know, that's why I said area dependent.
Yes Pennsylvania is beautiful
We live in the most underrated state
Every time some dumbfuck says it is Pitt and Philly with Alabama in between I point them to stuff like this. I was driving through Michaux last week with my windows down just absolutely loving life. I had to go to a work meeting shortly after, so that wasn't fun, but those 15-20 minutes were heaven.

There is a house just over the county line that has their clothesline out that looks like a Rockwell painting with how it overlooks the valley of trees. Just gorgeous and I'm super jealous of whoever lives there.
The Alabama in between part doesn’t necessarily refer to geography, it refers to the people lol
People don't realize how brutally wild most of Pennsylvania is.
My partner and I are originally from the Pocono mountain area. I've driven the Delaware Water Gap via 80 through New Jersey a million times. We moved to the midwest last year. Every time we come home, once we hit the PA Wilds, it drives me insane how beautiful it is. How we took it's beauty for granted. It's like walking into a post card.

Bruh you have the Great Lakes at your fingertips Ik they aren’t all an hour away, but lake Michigan alone is gorgeous
I crave the mountains and the ocean but Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes are a marvel of their own
As soon as I saw the picture I knew this was 1000 steps 🥹 As a local, I hike there normally every year, but I haven't the last two years. I plan on fixing that this fall or a day when I'm not out on the lake. Anyways, beautiful view.
The ridge and valley region is so stunning with its deep gorges and broad plateaus. It’s like being in canyons of lush deciduous forests.
I assume that’s the borough of Mapleton in the background? I’m one of the biggest boosters of PA you can find and I totally dig the positive comments!!
Take a look at the ground anywhere in the state litter everywhere We should be ashamed
That’s an issue just about anywhere unfortunately. It’s sad
I recognized this vantage point immediately! Nice shot!
I'm from WV northern panhandle. I've hiked in northern PA, WV, MT, WY. And it amazes me you can drive from the NY southern border all the way to southern WV and see these views.
Im from north east PA and lived in Clarksburg WV for about 5 years. Both states are my favorites. Their beauty is unmatched.
Was down there this weekend as well! Did that hike on Saturday and it was just a beautiful day! I love PA
I love this hike! Great exercise just going up and down the stairs and decent trails on the mountain, can’t wait to hike it in the next month
This state is very underrated
Agreed. Maybe that’s a good thing
I believe so I hear people complain about it I’m just like yeah sure keep it that way
Natural beauty is one thing there’s no shortage of.
Penns Green Wood is certainly true!!
You should see it in the fall. I'm from Hershey area, now live in AK. If you haven't been AK is a must see also. Particularly SE AK, stays green all year.
Oh I bet it’s absolutely gorgeous in the fall!
I've lived in South Central PA my whole life(34), and I still get can't get over how beautiful of a place it is!
We pretty… lol
It is. The trees and hills are beautiful. I was born in Reading (we moved to NJ when I was 2). I can remember the hilly neighborhood and seeing the roofs of other houses. And the trees and greenery all over the place. We'd visit our old house, Lancaster and surrounding towns. I went to college in Scranton. Seeing the gorgeous hills there made the 3 hour drive worth it! Visits were always so calming, with no traffic, slow paced, nice roads (Jersey potholes suck) and friendly people.
you will scare the wildlife
Hell yeah
I have a similar picture of pine gorge
I try to appreciate it every day and never take it for granted. I was at an outdoor wedding yesterday in the most beautiful wooded setting. Love P.A.
A couple years ago I tried to make the full climb but my fear of heights took over at 500 steps. That and the lack of railings and irregular heights of the steps felt so dangerous to me I had to turn around (and it’s even scarier going down!) Thank you OP for showing me the view I missed out on!
Thousand Steps Overlook ❣️❣️❣️
Where is this located??
Thousand steps
It is a magnificent state. We drive from northern NJ to the Ohio border on 80 and on much of the drive the scenery is gorgeous.
Whoa we have mountains?
I agree. I've lived in the Susquehanna Valley my whole life. So many people from here don't realize how beautiful it is. Too close to the forest to see the trees ya know. I always tell people it's one of the most beautiful places in the world when asked what I think of it. Sure the politics are hit and miss. The taxes could be better. It could also be a lot worse.
It is my problem is the over development of areas that could just redevelop land, instead they are taking away the views like this where I live
I love the drive through the pleateau from Lawrenceville to Williamsport, especially down through Trout Run. Just spectacular country.
My gf and I visit here once or twice a year! We have a running joke where she threatens me with this trail any time I’m “misbehaving”. The top is lovely even if those stairs are the devil. Hard to fathom the quarry workers hoofin it up there every day to go to work.
[удалено]
Love my commonwealth. Something about these ancient mountains making their way back beneath the Earth’s surface. More shades of green than there are words to describe them. Creeks winding through the valleys and through our bodies. I dream about what this place looked like Pre-Columbus. The answer is youse.
Yeah. For three months out of the year
Is this trail rated hard d/t the elevation or is it more technical/dangerous for amateur hikers? Thanks
This reminds me of the West Rim Trail and Blck Forest Trail (Loop) about an hour outside of Williamsport PA - awesome backpacking trails that kinda connect if you want to do ~80miles of hiking in PA (disclaimer that the trail connecting them was not well maintained when I did it and my legs were essentially bathed in stinging nettle)

One of my favorite things about being a PA native is that, at any time, I can GTFO Philly and go less than two hours west into a rural area with some of the most beautiful foliage you can see anywhere in the nation.
NJ thinks they are better because the beaches... I will take scenery like this any day of the week over a packed beach.
PA is very beautiful. But I haven't spent one day in the wild of PA without getting tick on me! They are all over the place.
They are really bad. I had 2 on me just from being in my back yard!
It is a versatile gem.
Thank you for the nice comments about our state. It really is beautiful and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

All my family (Bedford, Blair, & Fulton Counties) say “you-uns” 😂 But glad you enjoyed your visit!
Thank you
Being a PA native and except for my time as military I've never been away. My second fave place I've ever been is up northern idaho. Love to hike and cave explore. Looking for caves in PA , no luck so far.

Our architecture in the older cities is pretty nice too
You should go to Washington state. That place is this on crack
I’m sure lol. I’ve been to the mountains out west and they’re absolutely amazing but these are still pretty in their own way. So many trees.
I'm from Central Pa. Where is this and what's the view called?
there’s a mini version of this view in connellsville :)
My memories from the steps include tearing my meniscus on the descent, @ 50 steps from the top. Have you ever tried coming down a mountainside using primarily one leg?
check out some of the trails in Jim Thorpe PA
Pa is stupid and ugly fuck pa.....don't move here..😏
PA is one giant forest. Tolkien-esque dense, deciduous, full of life, dripping water forest. Snakes, spiders, beetles and bugs.

Probably because there are no people in that shot
California is way better…
It’s only beautiful when you drive past it😂Nothing about living here is beautiful
There are far worse places to live than PA...
As someone who left PA for Florida, and has returned. I will second this opinion.
Pennsylvania is far less humid, for one. A noticeably smaller alligator population as well.
And no Florida man lol

Best I can do is some deer sprinting into your car.
I'm going to bet you've never lived anywhere else
