I love the unique mission of Venture Outdoors, they are another reason why Pittsburgh is an amazing place to live. They are attracting visitors to the city and a lot of national attention. It's hard to picture Pittsburgh without the images of kayakers on the river, and Venture Outdoors is a driving reason behind this transformation of Pittsburgh into a place of extensive outdoor resources and and scenic beauty.
