Edgy, ethnically diverse and formerly big on industry, the expansive Pittsburgh metro area is today a mix of its steel-making roots and a growing pool of young professionals who contribute to this destination's high livability score.
There are two campsites located at the trailhead on West Fork Eagle Creek. The trail passes through some old growth timber and is a favorite for fall hunters and hikers. Trail leads to a prominent ridge between West Fork Eagle Creek and Bobtail Creek.
