Room to Roam
Whether you love the excitement of a fresh snowfall fo the hazy days of summer, enjoying nature comes with the territory in Pittsburgh. We’re unabashedly outdoorsy, and our topography is a big reason why: within about a 90-minute drive, you can explore our famed rivers, play in the mountains or set up shop on the beach.
Each season offers new opportunity to reconnect with the outdoors in a different way, all year round, including three inviting rivers, rolling highlands, mountains and verdant forests.
