Join us for this incredible monthly series detailing the history of the Pittsburgh Steps and how they helped shape the industry and culture around the three rivers. The hikes will be lead by Laura Zurowski, one of the authors of the upcoming book City Steps of Pittsburgh: A History & Guide. While breaks will be taken along the route, but these urban hikes are designed for folks who are accustomed to the challenges of significant elevation gains. Skill level is moderate to advanced.
