It is a short (10 minute) walk from downtown Pittsburgh (Cultural District area) to the golden triangle or tip where 3 rivers meet. This free park is bustling with families, joggers, people walking or biking. From Point State Park, you can see across the river to the sports stadiums, and view the Warhol, Carson and Clemente bright yellow sister bridges.

The Monongahela Incline is one of Pittsburgh's true gems. Take the incline from Station Square up 600 feet to the top of Mt. Washington to experience spectacular views of downtown that few cities have.

It is nearly impossible to explore Pittsburgh using ConnecTix Day Pass without visiting Station Square on the South Side, so you might as well ride the lovely preserved Mon Incline (which is located next to the Station Square T station) up the Mount Washington for awesome shots of the magnificent Pittsburgh skyline and the three rivers. You will never regret doing it.

Had a great time touring the boat. As a Navy veteran who served on submarines, it was a treat showing my grandkids this very well preserved piece of history. The boat is in great shape and you can tell it is well taken care of.
