Chimney Rocks Park ~ Pennsylvania's Scenic Overlooks

[@danielbrumbaugh9845]

Yes, that was the view of Hollidaysburg. The main highway was route 36.

That's a good view in the fall when the leaves change color. They put a star up there at Christmas time.

You missed hiking the foot of ten Allegheny portage railroad. Alot of ruins and engine house foundations can be seen on the trail where they took the canal boats over the Allegheny mountains onto johnstown.

Beautiful area! 20 m. north of there is the small town of Tyrone. If you go about 7 miles N. on Hwy 453, one of my 4th G-grandfathers is buried right along side the highway. In the old newspapers I've found, it says he created his little graveyard in the 1800's because he was mad that Janesville Pike (Hwy 453) was being built. There's an old iron gate around his grave, but it's in rough shape. Weird thing is.. the historical society changed out his wood marker for a granite one (per an Altoona paper) in the 70's I think.. and they put up a Civil War stone w/his name on it.. But it was his son who served & was killed in the Civil War. Just a mix up with info they had I guess? His name was Jacker Campbell & OMG.. the stories I've read about him in the old papers.. 🤭

Beautiful views. Can’t believe that person sitting on fence, asking for trouble. Both views were lovely. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care

Well, I saw you were here in my stomping grounds, and I saw "1 hour" on the upload time, so I hustled to the upper overlook and saw where the flashlight had been, but I guess someone else got there first. Thanks for the videos! I love living in this part of Pennsylvania. Beautiful scenery, we can enjoy a few city amenities if we want, but we have easy access to the wonders of nature.

Thank you for visiting Blair County. Chimney Rocks is a nice park to visit. If you are ever coming back message me. There are so many cool historic and natural areas in our county and surrounding if you need ideas. Love your channel thank you

[@heden1460]

That's a pretty view though.

[@jamesley4969]

Been there. My parents were from Altoona. You must see the chimney rocks at night with a full moon.

[@beverlybelcher3423]

Interesting video and scenery. Made me wonder, what if nobody finds that flashlight til a hundred years from now…

[@dianehackman5119]

What a view!!

[@ZEETZ610]

Just got back from Wayne County. The town of Honesdale has a scenic overlook called Irving Cliff at Gibbons Park. Just off route 6 not far from Prompton state park. I know you mentioned you were heading that way in another video.

All Btw blue knob. was the summer hunting ground of the Shawnee tribe

[@nobillclinton]

ridge and valley region is beautiful - the trail tunnels at Galitzin are pretty nifty too. All best, Woodsman.

[@kateclark7250]

Amazing overlook. I know the heights can be difficult, but you did it. Thank you for bringing folks here.

[@ruthgoebel723]

Great view at the top. Too bad the smoke is still there. The view in fall would be spectacular.

[@haukkru]

I grew up on Chimney Rocks, Hollidaysburg is nice but there isn't much to do here. Should check out Canoe creek trails they got nice ones.

[@matthewschleicher9419]

[@margaloone7970]

Ran home from work to find the flashlight. Some already found it. Maybe next time.

[@twill1073]

I went to chimney today. July 27. Scraped around for the flashlight but didnt see it. I wasn't even gonna take it. Just thought itd be cool to find

[@nancymann5351]

Why is that fool sitting on the railing??? Beautiful view from the second overlook. ❤

[@Maya-dc8cb]

Altoona PA people are lunatics

[@davidshanholtz1666]

A dozen miles away from me.

[@Billtownhistorian]

Wen u gunna go to Canfield island

[@Curious1304]

What flashlight did you leave Cliff? I need to plan my Saturday so wondering if it's worth it or not. Thanks brother! 😂 🏳️‍🌈

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

It's not there anymore.

[@Curious1304]

@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Was it the thrunight catapult? I already ordered one of those on account of your other night explore video (which was ggod).

[@johnpappe3289]

I will bet that the tree trimmer will watch the video and rightfully claim the flashlight. I hope that someday the Canadian government will again assume proactive controlled fire burning in the future so that we can have clear sky's in the future.

[@squidgameisaliarisawnosqui5341]

Everyone knows you are the wondering woodsman
