As one ancient author once invited his readers to “gaze upon the mountains, for they brood upon things eternal,” readers of this volume are encouraged to do the same.  That is, to gaze upon the cloud-capped mountains of Pennsylvania; to hike their twisting trails; to enter their dark hollows; to follow their rushing glens and to invade their mist-cloaked sanctuaries. Those who incline to do so will also be driven to know what’s around that next bend in the trail and to discover the secrets that await.  This volume, like its predecessors, offers readers suggestions to satisfy their wanderlust and provides directions to those places.  For example, in this fourth volume, readers might be lured to the Indian Steps, The Devil’s Chair, Witches Hill, The Bloody Rock, or to Pennsylvania’s own Stonehenges.  Photos of each of these and of the other sites described in this volume are included to enhance the reader’s armchair experience, as are the interesting historical accounts and human-interest stories that surround the landmarks and add to their appeal. 

In this volume:

• Some Pennsylvania Stonehenges (Northampton and Centre Counties)
• The Devil’s Chair (Mifflin County)
• The Landmarks in Elk State Forest (Elk County)
• Lewistown Narrows (Mifflin County)
• Indian Steps—Revisited (Huntingdon and Centre Counties)
