Pittsburgh Trail Running: Yellow Creek State Park
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2011/10/yellow-creek-state-park.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Saturday, October 1, 2011. Yellow Creek State Park. Been doing a lot of work east of town lately and exploring that area, so write-ups on Crooked Creek and the northern section of the Laurel Highlands Trail should be on the way. For today: Yellow Creek State Park in Indiana County along Route 422, about 90 minutes from Pittsburgh. Web site before venturing out, and I'd suggest printing their map as well. Here it is. I did get a bit off-track ont...

Pittsburgh Trail Running: May 2011
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Off the Road Again. No local trail reviews in this post; just a personal update. As bad luck and reckless training would have it, that sluggishness referenced in the February 17 post below turned out to be the beginnings of a torn soleus muscle, likely triggered by PJ McArdle hill repeats on the prior weekend. As it further turns out, cani-cross. With a recently retired and newly adopted sled dog. I was still signed up fo...

Pittsburgh Trail Running: Schenley - Faloon/Panther Hollow Trails
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2009/08/schenley-faloonhollow.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Schenley - Faloon/Panther Hollow Trails. So as any kid who's finished middle-school science class will tell you, the days are getting shorter. Might want to start this route before 8 pm. Pass the fountain and you'll see a trailhead, clearly labeled "Steve Faloon Memorial Trail." (Who was Steve Faloon? A remarkable and gifted young man who died at age 23 of aplastic anemia." Here's an article. Where the trail splits, go...

Pittsburgh Trail Running: Brady's Run Park (Beaver Co.)
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2011/07/bradys-run-county-park-beaver-co.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Sunday, July 31, 2011. Brady's Run Park (Beaver Co.). If you live up this way or happen to find yourself about an hour north of Pittsburgh, settled right between Route 51 and I-376 is Brady's Run Park. A nice pond in the valley of two steep slopes makes for a nice setting if you're in the mood for some tough climbs and occasionally confusing trails. Here's the trail map. All in all this park reminds me a bit of Riverview: nice trails, but steep ...

Pittsburgh Trail Running: Hidden Valley Resort
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2009/08/hidden-valley-four-seasons-resort.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Monday, August 3, 2009. Ski mountains are great places to run because the varying possibilities of hills, flats, surface and distance are nearly endless. You can get to Hidden Valley in about an hour from downtown Pittsburgh. Here’s a map of the ski trails. Here’s a map of the bike trails. This is where it gets a bit tricky. In any event, it’s a really fun run. Of course, why stick to this route? Four Seasons in Sharm el Sheikh. Weird Id have to...

Pittsburgh Trail Running: McConnell's Mill: Slippery Rock Gorge Trail
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2009/09/mcconnells-mill-slippery-rock-gorge.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Friday, September 25, 2009. McConnell's Mill: Slippery Rock Gorge Trail. This blog has fallen by the wayside as I've been doing a bit of traveling. Along the way I've had some nice runs on the coast of Maine and in the mountains of Maryland, and when I've been home I've stuck mostly to Schenley and Frick, and so haven't had much to report. But enough excuses. Another note: I wore a pair of these weird Injinji socks. Hidden Valley (Somerset Co...

Pittsburgh Trail Running: Youghiogheny Scenic & Wild River: Kendall Trail
http://pittsburghtrailrunning.blogspot.com/2010/11/youghiogheny-scenic-wild-river-kendall.html
When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra. Sunday, November 7, 2010. Youghiogheny Scenic and Wild River: Kendall Trail. This one's not in Pittsburgh, or even Pennsylvania, but if you happen to find yourself at nearby Deep Creek Lake for a weekend, this is a nice, easy, scenic trail. A map of this trail is unnecessary, and I don't have one anyway, but this map. Of the adjacent Yough should give you a pretty good overview. National Falls is at the southern end of that cluster of rapids.
