Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA 11/7/20 A group of women having a yoga class in Schenley Park with downtown Pittsburgh in the background on a hazy fall morning

This 456-acre slice of landscaped loveliness, which anchors the handsome neighborhood of Oakland, is a green clump of forests, trails, rushing creeks and general urban-park perfection. It's the home of the Phipps Conservatory and is a perfect spot for a lazy stroll.
