Walk Across The Trusal Covered Bridge For A Gorgeous View Of Fall Colors Near Pittsburgh

Fall's chugging right along. The chill has returned to the air, and the leaves are beginning their transformation from lush green to rustic golds, reds, and oranges. Now's the ideal time to get outdoors and admire the fall foliage. For sensational views of the Western Pennsylvania landscape, set off on a leisurely drive to this covered bridge near Pittsburgh.

Make the most of every remaining moment of the vibrant fall foliage count with a leisurely drive from downtown Pittsburgh to Indiana County's Trusal Covered Bridge.

Along the way, you'll pass landscape painted in the colors of fall as you make your way to the historic covered bridge that dates back to 1870.

Surrounded by lush green farmland and towering trees, Trusal Covered Bridge spans a mere 41 feet, earning it a nod as the shortest covered bridge in Indiana County.

Visiting the covered bridge, built by a Civil War veteran, promises plenty of natural beauty all year around. But, when the trees transform into a canvas of color...

You're in for a real treat. Carve out plenty of time to admire the view as you emerge from the covered bridge and to take photographs.

Trusal Covered Bridge crosses over Plum Creek and sits just about a half of a mile from Harmon Covered Bridge.

If you're up for a little more leaf peeping, make your way to the other three covered bridges in Indiana County - Harmon, Kintersburg, and Thomas.
