Savage Mountain
About
Savage Mountain is a summit of about 2,674 feet in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, on State Game Land 104. The nearest town is Hyndman, about 4.6 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F and lows near 59°F, and the summit sits a few hundred feet higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. The closest neighbor is the Raystown Branch Juniata River, a canoeing route about 6.8 miles away. Hikers can head to the Rose Trail or the Oak Trail, both within about 9 miles, and paddlers will find Buffalo Run at a similar distance.
