Susquehanna County Highpoint Trip Report

North Knob on Elk Hill (2,693 ft)

The two previous trip reports covered the two approaches to this HP. The gated road used by Mike Schwartz has a sign saying "Authorized Persons Only" but has the advantage of better footing and a gentler slope with about 800 feet of gain. The route used by Dave Orsheski up through the ski area is steeper with a bit more gain. The chair lift ends just a few feet below the summit, so you skiers might want to try this one during the snow season, getting a lift almost all the way up.

I found the bench mark with the altitude on it; I couldn't read the name very well but it looked something like "Plevay".
