Stare Down: Washington and Indian Scout
One of the best views in Pittsburgh! This spot is directly across the street from The Monterey Fish Bay. It is the start of a 2.37 mile walking/hiking trail that goes down and back up Mount Washington. Most of the path is on a narrow hillside, so be sure to wear your walking shoes. As you walk the path you are surrounded by nature but in the heart of the bustling city below your feet.
