Cross Mountain, Mountain summit in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, USA
Cross Mountain rises to an elevation of 2,062 feet within the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, featuring steep slopes and quartzite rock formations.
The mountain contained a military microwave relay station with a 103-foot tower called Cannonball site 2, which operated until its deactivation in 1977.
The mountain contributes to Pennsylvania's outdoor recreation heritage, attracting hikers and climbers who explore its challenging terrain throughout the seasons.
Visitors should check weather forecasts and bring appropriate gear, as the summit experiences temperature variations and strong winds throughout the year.
The mountain includes a geological formation called the Punchbowl, created by weathered Ordovician shales forming an amphitheater-like structure.
