Ask just about any Pittsburgher where to find the best view of the Burgh, and you’re likely to hear “Mount Washington” over and over again. But, as any Pittsburgher knows, we’ve got a few choices atop Mount Washington for admiring the views. We can climb up the mountain aboard the Monongahela or the Duquesne Inclines then drink in the views from one of the observation decks. Or, we can simply head to this spectacular scenic overlook in Pittsburgh.
Perched atop Mount Washington, West End-Elliott Overlook Park promises plenty of lush, leafy green space.
