Hike Summary:	3,213-foot Mount Davis, the highest point in Pennsylvania, is found in the Negro Mountain tract of Forbes State Forest, which spreads across the high ridges of the Laurel Highlands. A tower stands on the top of the peak, and on clear days you can see parts of Maryland, the town of Salisbury, Pennsylvania, and a series of large windmills off in the distance. The tower, as well as the high point, which actually sits atop a large boulder adjacent to the tower, can be reached by a short jaunt, probably less than a tenth of a mile, on the trail from the parking area.
