Always enjoy a ride on the incline. Great views up and down, and of course -- from the top of Mt. Washington. Be sure to check out the engine room downstairs ... just discovered it after many trips in the past.

For $2.50 (each way) you get the best view of the city and the experience of going up or down one of the last two inclines in Pittsburg. At the top of the mountain there is a little self tour of the incline and the walls are decorated with pictures and articles related to it, very interesting! My husband and...

This is a neat experience from a bygone area, and the fare is reasonable. There is a viewing platform at the top with incredible views. Try to go near sunset so you can get both daylight and nighttime views. Also, a great way to reach the restaurants on Grandview Avenue, since parking is free here and you have to valet...

We decided to stop here and take a break and stretch our legs as we were driving from Indiana to Washington, DC. It's a great vantage point and offers nice photo ops. However, BRING EXACT CHANGE to enter. The fare was low, but was annoying having to break a $20 bill in their change machine and receive a pocket full...

We went on the incline and were treated to a fabulous view of the city, fountain and 3 Rivers! The inline has enormous historical value, as it was transportation to the top of the hill in the early 1900's. Couples and families with children of all ages would like this! There is an observation deck and small museum at the...

We took our daughter up the incline and saw the views at the top and used the binoculars. Probably only a 30 minute activity, but lovely.
The incline is really well maintained and a neat way to get a view of the city. The 50 cent tour of the machinery was great and my engineer wife loved it.
The one thing that was less helpful was the attitude of the woman taking the fares at the bottom of the incline. She was very grumpy and reflected...

The incline raises 400 feet, which might not seem like that much, but the view from the top is spectacular. It’s also open every day of the year. The machinery has seen a lot of travel, but the exceptional construction of the ride up Mt Washington has proven durable and entertaining. One can reach the location by driving, or walking...
