Great views along the way and at the end of this hike. Great work out also.
This is a very strenuous hike. It is equivelant to a 1 hour stair master workout. There are plenty of places to rest though and look at the great views that this hike has to offer.
This is also a geocacher friendly hike.
Parking for this hike will be in a wide area along RT22 approx. 1.3 miles west of Mount Union, PA. The trail head will be at the eastern most part of the parking area. There is a sign that will say "Thousand Steps" trail.

The most amazing thing about this trail is the difficulty of the experience today was an everyday event for the worker's that built them. Many people use the trail as part of thier exercise routine as well as organizations for social gatherings. My daughter, Brianna, invited me to come along with her youth group from church. It has a great history and the vistas are amazing! The fellowship we had at the top made it all the more worthwhile. Going down is the most difficult because of the uneveness of the steps, be careful but don't let it deter you from the trip, it is well worth it.
