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 !
