Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The book is a comprehensive directory of 12 local walking trails, including maps and details about acess to public transportation, bathroom facilities, mileage, slope and trail surface. Most of these trails double as cycling routes, although they draw more walkers than bikers. Some routes are well known, like the Eliza Furnace, known colloquially as the 'jail trail' that runs between the eastbound and westbound lanes of the busy Parkway East ('The buzz of the city gives way to the open feel of modern industry and great views of the Monongahela River'). Others are underused, such as the more peaceful trail across the river on the South Side. Eight are accessible by public transportation, five are within the city of Pittsburgh, four include stretches of the Montour Trail west of the city and three are east of the city. Lengths range from a 1.5-mile loop around Washington's Landing to a round-trip, 9.2-mile option on the Youghiogheny River Trail from Sutersville to Dravo Cemetery in Elizabeth Township. Most are 1.5 to 4 miles. The walks are typically out and back so they can be shortened to suit the individual. They all are a short section of an extensive trail systems so they can be lengthened as well. The guide was developed because Allegheny Trail Alliance got so many requests for information when they spoke to groups about trail opportunities.

A 2005 edition is now available. It has the year in the upper right corner of the cover. If no date visible, enter 0972732438 in the search box at the top of the page and click GO, Amazon will take you to the new edition.
The new edition is very similar to the old, with only a few minor changes. It is not worth buying the new edition if you have the old one.

This is the only book you'll need if you are ready to get off the couch and into the great outdoors---a little at a time. If you are one of those people who keep saying that you SHOULD check out those trails that all of your active friends are talking about---this is the book that will inspire you.It is so well organized. The authors have second-guessed you and answered EVERY question(about each trail)before you even leave home! They even tell you what to look for when you're out there.
Read this litte gem then lace up your walking shoes!
