... I'd recommend checking it out from the Pole Steeple overlook in Pine Grove State Park in western Cumberland County. (Don't worry -- the girl in the photo, my friend Megan, isn't contemplating jumping. She's just snapping pictures of the view, in case you were wondering!)
The hike is short at 0.75 miles, but rather steep. Once you get to the huge rock outcropping at the top, though, it's all worth it. The view makes you feel like you're king (or queen, as the case may be) of the world.
In the summer, you can even hear the laughter of the kids down below in Laurel and Fuller lakes. The times I've hiked there, the trees have either been covered with green leaves or none at all. But I think it would be awesome to see the autumn colors (if we ever get any) from there.
What's your favorite place to enjoy the fall foliage?
