The Great Alleghany Passage goes from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Cumberland, Maryland.
The total mileage of this trail one way is about 150 miles
This bicycle trail (at the right time) is one of the greatest bicycle experiences I’ve had to date
Most of the time I would bicycle sections of the trail, years later I did the entire trail. The feeling once conquering this vigorous adventure was that of a space explorer reaching the surface of an untouched planet.
As a biking vacation spot, I had no choice to add this beautiful 150-mile trail
If you’re pretty experienced you can expect to do this in 3+ days

If you want to make for a larger bicycle trip, you can continue from or towards the Great Alleghany Passage. This would add an additional whopping 150 miles to your adventure
This is absolutely one of the most stunning trails you’ll ever find. I personally found it unbelievable, but remember to try to go here when the rain is quite a distance away. If it’s rained relatively recently, portions of this trail will be quite a bit less than fabulous
On average it takes most people at least 5 days to bicycle to C & O Canal Towpath
