Biking in Pennsylvania & Washington D.C.

With its seamless connection to the Chesapeake and Ohio Historical Trail, cyclists can now celebrate and enjoy an incredible 335-mile off-road, traffic-free adventure from Pittsburgh, PA, to Washington, D.C on the Great Allegheny Passage. Without a doubt, the Allegheny Passage/C & O Trail ranks as the crown jewel in our nation's growing network of Rails-to-Trails.

For us, the opportunity is irresistible. For years, we've considered new adventure opportunities in the trans-Appalachian regions to our east, but we've always deferred because of reluctance to deal with some of the issues inherent in riding the heavily-traveled roads of the area. In the season ahead, the Allegheny/C&O joins a growing number of rails-to-trails in our program that has included the Katy across Missouri, the Mickelson in South Dakota's Black Hills, and the Kettle Valley in southern British Columbia. Like our other rails-to-trails tours, we'll ride a hard-packed crushed limestone and gravel surface best-suited for a hybrid, rather than a skinny-tire road bike.
