Biking on the GAP



Biking on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) is great exercise and great fun. The photo above is typical of the trail between Ohiopyle and Confluence, the section nearest our house, a 22 mile round trip which takes about 2 hours. My usual turnaround spot is on the bluff above the confluence of the Youghiogheny and Casselman Rivers -- always pretty.
There are usually interesting things to see along the trail -- birds, deer, unusual bikes and people, fishermen, hikers, and so forth. This week it was rhododendron in bloom and a kayak stuck on the rocks of one of the rapids near Ohiopyle.
