Pulpit Rocks, National Historic Landmark in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States
Weathered sandstone formations rise 50 feet high along Warrior Ridge, with 10-foot gaps between each pillar allowing passage through the structures.
The Pennsylvania Geological Survey used these rock formations in the 1850s to determine the complex layered structure of the Appalachian Mountains.
Juniata College geology department conducts regular field studies at Pulpit Rocks, contributing to earth science education in Pennsylvania.
Visitors reach the geological site from Pike Road, formerly US Route 22, located northwest of Huntingdon with public access throughout the year.
The formations reveal multiple sandstone layers separated by different rock types, contradicting 19th-century beliefs about mountain structure in the region.
