Getting There
Across the Monongahela River from downtown.

Why Go

The incline's wooden cars still climb 400 feet at a steep angle. At the top, Grandview Avenue's overlooks face the Golden Triangle and the three rivers. The Monongahela Incline, a short walk along the ridge, is the other way up.

Tips

  • Go at dusk to see the skyline light up.
