Points of View

If you make a right out of the Duquesne Incline station and walk a few hundred feet down you’ll come to this interesting monument featuring George Washington crouched in somewhat of a huddle with a Native American who is identified as a Seneca leader named Guyasuta. The monument memorializes Guyasuta guiding Washington to meet with the French in the Allegheny River Valley shortly before the French and Indian War began. The monument itself makes for some great photo opportunities as you can position yourself like you are getting in on the huddle with these guys and since these statues are somewhat bigger than the average human the photos come out looking interesting. The real draw though is the amazing view of the city scape and Pittsburgh skyline that you’ll get from this spot up on Mt. Washington. Nice neighborhood to walk around in too. Other reviewers have mentioned walking paths behind the statues which I personally didn’t do but I may check out on future visits.

This is a nice and relaxing place to get the best view of the city.
There is a hiking trail that goes around the backside of the mountain, near.
Not very big but a good spot to hit for a quick photo op and a chance to read up a little about the «George & Gus» statue.

George Washington sleeps here, so does Seneca leader, Guyasuta, right in front of the Grandview Pointe apartment building. «Point of Views» is a landmark celebrating the historic second meeting of both of these historic figures. This meeting took place in October of 1770, Guyasuta is featured with his back to the west, almost protecting it from George Washington. George is depicted with a determined look that he will take Pittsburgh to gain access to the west.
This statue is located a short walk just west of the Duquesne Incline on Mt Washington.
