Three Rivers Heritage Trail

Before I moved to Pittsburgh, I bought a neat little book called Great Little Walks in the Pittsburgh Area. On Memorial Day, we finally got around to trying one of the walks! We probably timed it just right, as Andy was able to hike half of the 4 mile loop. He made the trip back on Mike's shoulders.

 

We parked at the Science Center, and walked toward the river to find the trail.

 

After passing Heinz Field (home of the Steelers), and the Vietnam Veterans memorial, we came to PNC park and this statue of Roberto Clemente. We crossed the river at this bridge.

 

We passed the city, walked up the wharf and arrived at the tip of the "Golden Triangle". This is Point State Park. Unfortunately, the fountain and park were closed, but the musuem was open. Andy was pooped at this point, and Mike's shoulders took over.

 

Back by the stadiums, Andy cooled off in the Korean War Memorial pools (OK, he was not really supposed to, but there were lots of other kids and dogs doing the same.) Then our good weather luck ran out, and the skies over Pittsburgh showered us with rain, ending our little adventure.
