Enjoyed vista (1 of best in PA being so expansive) for long time climbing around rocks with my young daughter, then flat easy hike on Tuscarora trail (carrying her most of time) - chilly & overcast but not bad. Nice that you can just drive to. Nearby Cowan's Gap State Park with nice lake nearby that can be used for longer hike.
