Elevation Change coming out of Junction (Panther) Hollow to Forbes

Just wondering if anyone knew the elevation change between the bottom of that hill coming out of Junction Hollow to the top of the hill at Forbes Ave.? Did some searching and so far have not been able to find that info.


Thanks.

Google Earth has the bottom (Boundary/Joncaire) at 800 ft, while the top (Neville/Fifth) is about 910 ft in elevation.


Say about 110 feet of elevation difference.

Here's a link to a detailed map I saved on iMapMyRide. You can see the elevation in a cool graph below the map. Mouse over the elevation chart and an indicator on the map will follow your movement. You can see exactly where you are and the elevation.


Check between miles 18 and 20 for the area you're talking about.

Thanks. It's funny - that hill seemed like it was a pain until biking the length of Beechwood Blvd. a few times...and especially after I went from Homestead to Shadyside!
