THE MOUNTAIN AT THE CONEMAUGH GAP
Top Right: The mountain peak as seen from the intersection of Routes 403 and 56.
Top left: Could this wall at the peak of the mountain be an Indian ceremonial site?
Middle: The view from the peak of the mountain. At center is the Conemaugh River.
Just to the left of center is the
Penelec Building. The C&BL Railroad building is below the Penelec building.
Bottom: The view from half way up. At center 1/3 down from the top is the old boys school in
Coopersdale. At right is the Coopersdale homes.
I always wanted to climb this mountain. I parked my car a 1/4 mile up Tollgate Road and followed the power line to a logging road.
The logging road took me most of the way up to the top.
It was steep, full of jagging bushes and a snake. I made it and had fun.
