This Sunday Take an Urban Hike Around the Upper Hill & North Oakland

July 13, 2017 Lindsay Leave a Comment

From the Sharpsburg Urban Hike

Urban Hike is another one of the best kept secrets in Pittsburgh. For over a decade a group of faithful volunteers have been mapping and researching routes around different Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

This Sunday, join the Urban Hike crew for a 2 hour walk around the Upper Hill and North Oakland. The hikes are usually on paved surfaces, but sometimes off road was well.

Past Urban Hikes

Some of the previous Urban Hikes have traversed…

  • Millvale
  • Garfield
  • Hazelwood – The Hazelwood hike is how I learned about the John Woods House, the second oldest house in Pittsburgh.
  • Ambridge
  • South Oakland
  • Crafton
  • Sharpsburg – The Sharpsburg hike is where I learned about one of my favorite breakfast spots, Cafe on Main.

And those are just the Urban Hikes that we have posted about here on the blog. Visit the Urban Hike website to see a list of previous hikes.

The best way to learn about upcoming hikes is to follow Urban Hike on Facebook.

If you are headed to the hike or out for a stroll in your neighborhood, keep an eye out for some neighborhood bars and share them with the #NeighBARhood hashtag. We are working on building a list of the best neighborhood watering holes.
