From (visit link) :

The 1,000 Step were climbed by quarrymen every day on their way to work in the quarry. They climbed from the highway to the top of the mountain. It is almost 800 ft in height!

Over 1,000 steps to climb! Accessed from US Route 22 between Huntingdon (8 miles east) and Mt. Union (2 miles west). Look for heritage trail markers on both sides of RT 22. Parking is on opposite side of the River. There is a small spring at the trail head. Follow blue blazed trail 300 yards to the base of the steps and begin hike from here.

Alternate: Park across from Motel 22 and access the feeder trail to the 1,000 steps. Approximately 2 miles west of the RT. 22 trail head.
number of stairs (minimum 60): 1,036.00

stair landing (check if yes): yes
