Pisgah Mountain

The east end of the ridge is named Mount Pisgah and represents a hard rock knob that towers 700–900 feet above Lehigh River towns Jim Thorpe to the east, and Nesquehoning to its north.

At the Mauch Chunk-Bear Mountain Gap east of Jim Thorpe, the range ends rapidly descending to the Lehigh River Valley below the northeastern summit marked on USGS topological maps as Mt. Pisgah, which is named for the biblical mountain in Jordan from which Moses first saw the promised land (as are many Mountains around the world and especially in the United States).
