    Views of New Kensington, Pennsylvania from Agan Park.

    Agan Park is located across the river from New Kensington at a appx. elevation of 1,100 feet.
    
    The river is at 760 feet so you have a considerable drop-off for this part of the country.
    

    Looking across at Mt. Vernon
    

    Looking down at the parking garage that was built for the hospital that was closed a few years later.  What a waste of $$$
    

    Looking down at the 9th street bridge.
    

    Looking north along the ridgeline
    

    Looking at the wires that run across the river.  I wonder when they last inspected them ??
    

    Looking south where the elevation increases.  If it was not so muddy I would have explored this area. (Next time)
    

    Looking back where I parked.  This felt like a very good place to be packing...  I was getting a real bad feeling but I was prepared !
