I would suggest filling in much more information such as how to get to the trailhead, mileages, how safe is parking, trail markings, local wildlife, etc. Which agency administers the area? Is this who answers the phone number you listed? Any guidebook references? Any maps available? Any hazards? Some of your camping info is a bit contradictory. And a little spell check would aid your readers too (type in Word and paste into SP). Sorry to sound so A.R. but I think your Mountain has potential.
Post more pics if you've got 'em. The old adage 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is relevant here. Many rather crappy pages (yours is NOT one of them)gain bonus points for great photos. Embedding them into paragraphs is a common technique that helps grab attention to your page. The beta you've included though seems great so pics would be my only suggestion. This is a great start!!
I had actually been working on a page for this mountain over the last few months but haven't had the time to put it up on the website. I can send you what I have in a Word document to add to the page and I can even be an administrator of the page, if you want. I can email my work to you, if you want. I grew up in that area and know quite a bit about the area. My brother has some pictures of the mountain on his profile and I have let him know to attach a few. His user name is TiogaBradford if you want to add them. Also, I attached the page as a child to the Northern Allgheny Plateau, since it is part of that region.
Tioga, That would be great if you could email me your info you have collected. When I hiked this I was not thinking I was going to do a page on it. That explains the lack of photos. If your brother would like to attach some of his own, that would be great! I also made you and administrator if you would like to add anything yourself, or make corrections. Thanks for checken this out!
If you send me your email address in a PM, then I could send you the information I have. It's not terribly different, but if you want to add it you can. Maybe just a little more history of the area and what not. Also, I added some pictures. Hope you like them.

Re: SP Rule to Live By...Thanks so much for your advice! I don't have any more, but when I go back, I'll gather quite a collection and put up some good ones!

Let me know how else I can help.
