Westmoreland County Highpoint Trip Report

I concur with Mr. Foust's directions which are easy to follow if coming from the Turnpike. The green gate he mentions hopping over is now open and overgrown. There were real estate signs offering to sell five acres for $498K, so this one could become a problem in the future. If that becomes the case, you may want to stop at Foust's 2.0 mark and walk up along the power lines. The trail to the top is disconcerting at first since it parallels Fire Tower Road for about 200 yards and gains no elevation.

Reasonable views from the tower area.
