This cairn was begun many years ago, as some who climbed the blue trail of Mt Nittany would add a rock to the top of the trail. Now, the cairn gathers more and more rocks as visitors add to it.
The structure has no defined shape, and is continually growing.

A white blazed path to the left will afford 2 excellent vistas, a small cliff, and a great view of the Nittany Mall before looping around the mountain. This is especially nice when the fall leaves are turning. Follow the white blazes for a mile or so until you reach a rock pile, or 'cairn', about 6 feet high. At this intersection, you can go in a couple of directions, so check out the map for a better idea of where it leads. It takes less than a half-hour to get to this section, so you can do it on a relatively short hike.

Parking and trailhead are on Mount Nittany Road.
