Hike Mount Nittany

Unimposing natures beauty

Missed Fall foliage.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the last of my Haiku poems.

It's a tribute to the mountain that was close to my parent's former homes. On a clear day, if you hike up Mount Nittany, there are views of the Penn State University campus (Happy Valley). For football fans, Mount Nittany is located East of Beaver Stadium.

    This was such a pretty haiku! I loved it.

  • Aw I love mountains with sentimental value! I remembered a poem entitled "I know Rivers". I always think "I know Mountains" there always seems to be one close to love!
