A sweeping panorama of the parts of Pittsburgh, PA USA visible from a lesser-known viewpoint in the Hill District of the city. The view is to the north and includes the Allegheny River, which flows from right to left. There are many landmarks visible, including about a dozen bridges and the two stadia. One can see people doing their Saturday morning Strip District shopping, three trains, many warehouses, many distant churches and thousands of individual houses lining the hillsides. Downtown is just out of sight to the left. (Made with the Gigapan beta imager robot) |

At the south end of the Big Savage Tunnel on the Great Allegheny Passage, there is a great view. One can see the quarry at Cumberland and the mountains beyond. it is a great place to just hang out, enjoy the scenery, and converse with other bicyclists. |
