Elk Run Vista at Tioga State Forest in Elk Township, Pennsylvania is an
accessible roadside north-facing view of the mountains
surrounding Elk Run.
This is not a hike and just barely a walk, but rather a few steps out of your car to take in the views of the mountains at Elk Run Vista. This is a great spot for folks to enjoy the mountains of the PA Wilds without having to do any hiking or really any walking if they choose not to or physically can't. If you choose to walk, the distance is negligible, but there are different vantage points from each end of the parking turnout.
