Spruce Knob
About
Spruce Knob is a summit in Pennsylvania, rising to 2,614 feet about 1.2 miles from the community of Klahr. It sits in a cluster of trails, so it works well as a destination in its own right or as a base for exploring the surrounding routes. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F and September highs near 71°F, with lows in the 50s and 60s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. The MTB Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Mountain View Trail is about 1.6 miles off. Farther out, the Lost Turkey Trail (Tower Trail) and the Rock-n-Ridge Trail are both within about 2.2 miles.
