Mt. Washington Overlook

n
   We were hoping for some fall color but the view of Pittsburgh is still beautiful no matter the season. A sidewalk follows along the cliff with viewing decks that hang out over the treetops.

The sidewalk is a little rough in places but it and the viewing decks are accessible. Parking spaces are located along Grandview Ave. at the overlook.  A small RV will fit in the handicapped spaces.

  Pittsburgh, especially the Mt. Washington neighborhood, is very hilly with narrow streets. I don’t recommend driving a large RV to the overlook. Large parking lots are located at Station Square below the overlook. From there you can take the Duquesne Incline, which is wheelchair accessible, to the overlook.  Overlook

    We used to live in a house like these ones, narrow with many stories and steps because of the hillside, but we didn’t have a nice view.  While we’re back in our hometown, visiting friends and taking care all of our yearly appointments, I’ll be posting very sporadically but in a few weeks we should be back on the road, heading for warmer weather.  :- )

  2. :- D Hi Cyndi - you must be colder than we are! Get yourself down south before you freeze. Are you heading to Quartzsite? We're skipping it this year and going to Florida but we should make it to the RTR in the Carolinas in March. Let us know if our paths will be crossing so we can spend some time with you and Stumpy.
