In the spirit of urban exploration, these Arch Street steps are a little gem.
These steps begin in a location that even locals do not know about, and end in a location that only locals might want to be.
In between these two locations these steps meander through a wooded area of north side slope. During this route there is a long horizontal stretch, an inexplicable 120 degree corner, and a steady climb to a location behind a guardrail.
Although obscure, I can imagine that getting between these two locations would be difficult any other way.
The condition of the steps of the steps is mostly good, although the handrail is down in a couple of places.
In all, these steps are a pleasant walk through the woods, indeed, the kinds of steps one explores the city of Pittsburgh to find. I recommend seeking out these steps to other urban trekkers.
