Church Route

church-route-sign

The Church Route on the South Side Slopes neighborhood of Pittsburgh is a walking tour that goes up unique stairways, over beautiful views of the city, and by eccentric hillside architecture and historic churches. For 10 years this route was a part of our annual StepTrek but we decided to retire it and post it here instead!
