There’s a fun article in USA Today today about Adventure Cycling’s pacakge tour of the Great Allegheny Passage rail trail. The route travels between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Maryland where it meets the C & O Canal trail – a trail system that lets hikers and bikers travel from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC just about entirely on rec trails.

I’ve biked sections of the trail a bunch of times when I lived in Pittsburgh, and boy is this a lovely trail. There’s a bunch of information about the route here. Right about this time of the year the scenery is going to be spectacular with the autumn colors and crisp air. You can check out Adventure Cycling’s info here or just head out on your own for a day or two or a week.
