About the Adventure

Activity Level 2 or 3: Moderate to Vigorous (depending on chosen distance) Location: North Park, Pittsburgh Guide: Abby This hike takes us to North Park where we'll meander through towering pines and past a grove of beautiful hemlock trees. The North Park Orange Loop is a well-marked trail that moves around the golf course and has steady inclines and descents throughout the trail. This is a 4.1 mile loop with 430 of elevation gain. If you've been thinking about increasing your distance, this is the hike for you. You have the opportunity to do this 4.1 mile loop once, or we can take a brief break at the parking lot and then do the loop again for a total of 8.2 miles and 860 feet of elevation. Doubling loops was one of the ways that I started to really develop my distance skills and this was the trail that I practiced that on. No need to commit to your distance in advance. If you're feeling that the day of our hike is your day to go further, you can decide then! 💌 Registered participants will receive an email with meeting location, suggested gear, and other pertinent info before the event.
