The Ramsey Vista at Tiadaghton State Forest near Ramsey, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back drive-able walk that features stunning views of the southern end of the PA Grand Canyon, located high above Ramsey.

Names
This vista has no official name, hence "Ramsey Vista". Other folks might refer to this as Dead End Vista #3 or Bull Run Dead End Vista #3.

This is not a hike but rather a walk that visitors can also drive. For folks who do not wish to or cannot walk, this is a great drive-up vista; however, you'll have to fare dirt roads to reach it. The Ramsey Vista provides views of the stunning Houselander Mountain with its exposed pipeline slopes (private land), Pine Creek, the mountain top of the Stone Cutter Vista, the hamlet of Ramsey, PA, and the mountain ridge that's home to Hanging Rock Overlook and the historic Balanced Rock Vista.

Camping
Note that camping is permitted at Tiadaghton State Forest and there are a couple of fire rings at the end of this road. Camping is likely allowed here, but please follow all state forest rules and regulations.

Parking
Visitors will find parking at the dead-end of Dead End Road #3, at the coordinates provided.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and should be cleaned up after.

Excellent vista - really neat that you get such a wide viewing point as you walk along, including Houselander Mtn (which I hiked shortly after this). Included this as part of bigger loop hike starting with Stone Cutter, and then also the other Bull Run Rd dead-end vista & MST down to Gamble Run.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
