This Quaint Little Trail Is The Shortest And Sweetest Hike In Pittsburgh

Sometimes exploring nature is the best medicine after a bad day, when you're feeling stressed, or when you just want to clear your head. Pittsburgh boasts plenty of hiking trails, winding through downtown, the North Side, and city neighborhoods. If you're up for a short but sweet hike in Pittsburgh, embark on this quaint loop trail that spans only a mile but promises plenty of picturesque scenery along the way.

Lace up your favorite pair of hiking boots or walking shoes for your hike along Twin Hills Park Loop in Mt. Lebanon.

At just one mile, the easy hiking trail has been compared to a leisurely walk in the woods. In fact, you might even want to bring your pooch with you.

And, don't forget to bring water for your short jaunt through the woods that will take you...

Up and down stairs and...

Across picturesque bridges. Listen for the sound of the gushing stream as you stroll along the trail.

During spring and summer, admire the blossoming wildflowers that grow in the woodland.

Because Twin Hills Park is hugged by private property on all sides, visitors can only access the park and the trails via Twin Hills Drive.
