Emerald View Guided Hike

Join a Park Ranger for a guided hike through the scenic trails of Emerald View Park, where woodland tranquility meets a touch of city edge. This approximately 2.5-mile route gains about 367 feet in elevation and is best suited for fit hikers of all experience levels, making it a great outing for folks looking to explore one of Pittsburgh’s most unique green spaces while getting a little cardio. Along the way, you’ll travel narrow, rustic trails that wind through lush forest, with moments of urban character woven into the landscape and a surprise, breathtaking skyline view that makes the climb worthwhile.

Participants should wear closed toe shoes suitable for uneven terrain and bring water to stay hydrated. The group will meet at the Greenleaf Trailhead parking lot (across from 1870 Greenleaf Street) where a portable toilet is available nearby. Come ready to move, learn, and enjoy a refreshing outdoor experience led by a knowledgeable Park Ranger.
