The story
Miller Mountain is a peak that is located in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. One of the more recognizable peaks in the Endless Mountains region of the Commonwealth, it is a "stand alone" peak, which is separated from the remainder of the Allegheny Plateau. In 2023, Miller Mountain was purchased by the state, and added to the Pinchot State Forest. The Susquehanna River flows past the mountain where the slopes rise to over 1,600 feet (490 m) above the riverbanks and the town of Tunkhannock.
