This HP is on the western slope of Red Rock Montain, the summit of which is in Luzerne County and is shown as having an elevation of 2,449 feet. I followed Mike Schwartz's report for this one and found it to be entirely accurate. The trail Mike mentions is the Grand View Trail in Ricketts Glen State Park. The Columbia County land is posted by a hunt club and where the postings butt up against a state park land boundary marker is where I presume the county corner is. Actually, I felt that the ground was slightly higher about 100 feet or so south along the trail. I felt sure the hunt club wouldn't mind my sticking my foot under the wire to step on the HP of Columbia County.
