Top Mountains in Pennsylvania

Bring a good pair of walking shoes. The trails are gorgeous, but I totally regretted wearing flip flops! You'll want to explore beyond the monument.

If you can, visit early in the morning, around 7 AM. The morning light is beautiful for photos and there are fewer crowds – I totally loved the peace before it got busy!

Check the weather before you go. I got caught in a sudden rainstorm, and it wasn't fun! Dress in layers just in case – it can change quickly!

I think parking can get pricey, so my advice is to use the shuttle service offered by the park. It's affordable and saves you the hassle of finding a spot!
