Biking The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) From Pittsburgh To Ohiopyle In Pennsylvania

The “media post-tours” are one of the highlights of the annual Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC) conference. And since this year TMAC met in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, biking the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) was a natural choice for a quick two-day press trip.

The GAP is a nearly-level biking trail that runs about 242 kilometers from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland. We had the chance to ride a bit over half of the trail, from #Pgh to Ohiopyle.

Following the Youghiogheny and Casselman Rivers in the Laurel Highlands and using historic railroad lines, tunnels, viaducts and bridges, the GAP offers an amazing “rails-to-trails” experience. This is as much as I can give away right now. I’ll provide you with more information in upcoming travel features. For now, enjoy this “trailer,” comprising of a few impressions from our two days on the road:
