🏞️ Pittsburgh Must-Do: Point State Park & the Iconic "Yellow Bridge"

📍 Stop 1: Point State Park – Where Pittsburgh Begins Experience the historic heart of the city where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. At the tip of Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, you can: Gaze at the confluence of the three rivers—a defining geographic feature of the Steel City. Visit the Fort Pitt Museum to learn about the region’s role in the French & Indian War. Relax on the lush lawn, enjoy the skyline views, and watch barges drift by. 🌉 Stop 2: The Roberto Clemente Bridge – Pittsburgh's Golden Gateway This vibrant yellow suspension bridge is more than just a crossing—it’s a local icon: Walk across from Downtown to the North Shore, ending right at PNC Park (home of the Pittsburgh Pirates). Perfect photo op: The bright yellow structure contrasts beautifully with the water and sky—especially stunning at sunset. Honor a legend: Named for beloved Pirates Hall-of-Famer and humanitarian Roberto Clemente. 🚶♀️ Recommended Route: Start at Point State Park in the afternoon. Explore the museum and stroll to the fountain overlook. Walk about 10 minutes along the river to the Roberto Clemente Bridge (accessible from Fort Duquesne Blvd).

On game days, join fans streaming across the pedestrian-only bridge for an electric atmosphere. ✅ Tips for Your Visit: Parking: Use Downtown parking garages and explore on foot.
