Big Mountain, Mountain summit in Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania, US.
Big Mountain is a summit in Franklin and Fulton Counties with steep slopes and extensive forested terrain. The mountain rises above surrounding valleys and forms part of the ridge system in this region of Pennsylvania.
The mountain's geological foundation was shaped over millions of years through natural processes. Its current form reflects long-term erosion and the resilience of the underlying rock structure.
The Tuscarora Trail network across Big Mountain connects local communities and provides opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout the seasons.
The site is accessible through multiple hiking trails with parking near the main trailheads. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather and varied terrain conditions across different routes.
The mountain presents Pennsylvania's largest vertical rise, measuring over 1,800 feet from the creek valley to its eastern summit.
