The Great Allegheny Passage is a rail-trail system featuring a network of long-distance hiker-biker trails that extends through the Allegheny region of the Appalachian Mountains, boasting breath-taking natural scenery.

Connecting Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, the 335-mile trail offers a long-haul adventure for hikers and bikers alike, as well as shorter trips between towns along the way.

Once the railway for freight trains between the two cities, the now converted multi-use trail gently winds its way along the Youghiogheny River through the Laurel Highlands and connects with the C&O Canal towpath. Facebook
