Linn Run State Park is one of my favorite adventure spots. From the moment you enter the park you are surrounded by tall hemlocks and rhododendrons. Most of the hiking trails run along a stream accompanied by beautiful cottages - a perfect scene for awesome photos. When entering the park you will see a parking lot, picnic tables, and a small playground on your left. After crossing the small br...

Hike the Sugar Run Trail

Dunbar, Pennsylvania

1.6 mi

This trail connects Old Mitchell Trail to Johnathan Run Trail. It is a short but fun hike down to the falls. We parked by the helicopter landing field and the trail head was right by the entrance to the parking lot.The hike down to the falls was nice and easy, but coming back up was tough. The trails are all well kept and are marked with orange blazes. When you get to the bottom of the trail th...

Photograph the City of Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

4.0

Photograph the Pittsburgh skyline from Mt. Washington! It's a spot now famous for wedding photo backdrops, family portraits, etc. so you may have to wait a little while to get one of the overlooks to yourself.

Catch a Sunset at Point State Park

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

You can watch and listen to the concerts happening during the summer at the Steelers Stadium on the other side of the river. On either side of the point is a walking trail where you can walk the entire downtown ...
