About this Event

I want to keep this pretty brief, so just text me if you have any further questions! The hike will start at the St. Nicholas Church trailhead, and we'll take that up to Rialto St. We'll walk up to De Fer Coffee, and people can take a break, grab a bevvy or a snack. Then we'll do some of the city steps Troy Hill has to offer, expect around 300ft up and down as a max staircase, which is also around 200 steps. We'll end up in the Cowley-Goettman Park and hang out there for a bit around 3, and then head down the final set of city steps (my favorite set because of its houses that are only accessible by city steps, dedicated bench, and cool views of the north side and downtown) and end up right next to Penn Brewery. The hike will be done then, but please join me afterward for a drink or two!


As far as transportation options, the 1,2,4,6, & 7 busses all get you nearby the trailhead, biking is a good option. You can use the Charles J. Lieberth Pedestrian Walkway to get from the 3 Rivers Heritage Trail to get to the St. Nicholas Church Trailhead. There is also free parking in the parking lot right next to the trailhead.
