Three Mile Hill

Summit of Three Mile Hill

Three Mile Hill is a section of Pennsylvania Route 31 (PA 31) near Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, that connects Laurelville and Acme.[1]

Though the hill is only two miles (3.2 km) long, the steepness of the hill makes it "feel like [it is] three miles [4.8 km]."[2] From base to summit, the elevation increases by 2,000 feet (610 m).

From its summit in Fayette County, the city of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County is clearly visible[3] despite the two being nearly 36 miles (58 km) from each other.[4]
