    Views from Emerald View Trail.

    Great way to get a quick hike within confines of city. Reward is the great views. One note: Google directed me to Grand View Park. So if using Google maps make sure you look close at destination before beginning journey. If you do end up at Grand, need not to worry, Grand View Park also has trail access.

    Without knowing too much about this area, we went specifically to go hiking on the Emerald View Trail, and it was a pleasant surprise. We parked at Olympia Park, near the dog play area, and walked down to the dead end of Hallock Street, where the trail begins. We hiked for approx. two and a half hours, and made our way from one end of the trail, all the way through the woods and ended up on Mt. Washington at the "Points of View" statue (This statue of George Washington & Chief Guyasuta has its own Yelp listing, just search for "Points of View."). We saw urban ruins of old foundations, some small streams, walked over top of the Fort Pitt Tunnel, all the way over and above the West End Circle. We saw great views of the river and bridges, and of the city. There were lots of trail markers, and a lot of other cross-trails that we could've taken. Also, there were a few breaks where you had to walk on the street for a short while, or cross over some streets, but it was pretty easy staying on the trail. Some of the areas were a little rough at times, and there were a lot of elevation changes, not too steep, but you do go up and down quite a bit. After we got to the end of the trail on Mt. Washington, we followed Grandview Ave. back to Hallock Street to our car (with a short stop at the Duquesne Incline and lookout), which really didn't take too much time at all. This trail is a hidden urban treasure, and I thought it was well worth giving it a try. Note: bring water, as there are no places to get a drink along the way, and we did encounter one port-a-john (didn't need to use it), but there were no other facilities along the trail.

    Greenleaf - George & Guy Hike

    This is such a hidden gem! I was looking for fun things to do for our family staycation and this park popped up in one of my searches. We did the Greenleaf - George & Guy Hike (2.5 mile loop). We parked at the trailhead and went to the right. The hike started out downhill and then got steep on the uphill with significant drop offs to the left. I would not take young children on this hike as there is no barrier to prevent falling down the mountain and the trail is rough. We absolutely loved the challenge of the terrain and the views (near Monterey Bay) were excellent. The "trail" also includes some street walking, and it was nice to see some of the Mt. Washington neighborhood that was not right on Grandview. I downloaded the trail map to my phone before we started out and was glad that we had it as the trail wasn't always well marked, especially when we got to the street sections. We will definitely do this hike again and maybe explore some of the other trails on our next visit.
