Places to Visit Part III,
Mount Washington lays directly across the Monogahela River and offers a spectacular view of Downtown Pittsburgh. Originally the mount was called "coal hill" , since it was the source of many coal mines. The mount is only 367 feet high and in order to get to the top is to one must ride in a passenger carrier that was once used to transport coal miners. The cable cars have been restored to their 1870 's conditions.
