"Jewel of the Big Ten" - Aug 13, 2009

Jim Comparoni from the Michigan State SpartanMag.com tweeted about the Mountain today.

"The BTN is doing Mt. Nittany justice tonight, with it's on-the-road tour. Mountains in the background. Great place."

"TV game coverage at PSU never shows what the mountains actually look like. Happy Valley is the jewel of the Big Ten."

"Well now that you made it sound like the Mountain is the only reason the picture is nice....go right ahead. :-)"

Seen on the Mountain - June 2007

We recently received the following in a recent email to the Conservancy.

"Dear Mt. Nittany Conservancy:

My children (ages 11 and 4) and I hiked Mt. Nittany this morning.

Look what we found close to the top on the white trail!! (about 20 ft. before where the paths cross to turn right to Mike Lynch Overlook. It's on the right of the trail as you are ascending, just under an evergreen if I remember correctly.)

You've probably seen it before. It's a pink lady slipper wild orchid. And it is perfect. Just had to share ."
