Going Green in the Conemaugh Valley

This is a very pretty area on the lower end of the old Son's of Italy Road just off of St. Clair Road. What's left of this road travels the whole ridge line of the mountain and will eventually take you to Westmoreland and Indiana Counties. You can take this road to Brown's Farm - but it's kind of the long way to go about it. Hugh sections of this road are washed out and basically unless you walk it - the only other way to travel along it is by ATV..

Just a taste of what's wanting for us under all this snow.

If you click here you can see more of what is believed to be a Native American Serpent type wall. That also contains a group of rockpiles and smaller walls.

Hard to tell from this photo but if you click here there is a possible sunken burial cairn(rockpile) mound.

Two deer playing near an old tree along the edge of Sunnehanna Golf Course - Stackhouse Park.

Nice little Turtle Pond - Stackhouse Park

One of the trails that skirt along the side of Haws Pike (Route 56).

This bit of green is along the old Son's of Italy Road.

You can see more from this site here.
