Two weeks ago, friends and I rode half of the 150 mile Great Allegheny Passage Trail, part of the Rails to Trails movement which creates multi-use public paths from abandoned railroad corridors. We started our ride in a small trail town called Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania where Ohiopyle State Park is located. “Passing through the heart of the park, the rushing waters of the Youghiogheny [yawki-gay-nee] River Gorge are the centerpiece for Ohiopyle. The “Yough” [yawk] provides some of the best whitewater boating in the eastern United States, as well as spectacular scenery”. To see this same image in B&W, visit Monochromia
I’ll share more about this amazing trip in the next few posts.
Thais is a spectacular image Laurie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, Joe! Not too bad for my Samsung Android 🙂
I love the Yough, and have white water rafted on it many times over the years. I look forward to hearing more about your trip in future posts.
That’s so neat, Sheryl! White water rafting is so exhilarating, but it has been far too many years since I’ve done more than a few riffles. We do kayak on the New River near us, but again, it’s been over 5 yrs. Sigh … got to get back out there!
My friends and I loved riding the GAP along the Youghiogheny, though. Just beautiful!
eeeep! Can’t say I’d wanna raft over that rugged drop 😁 But it is surely breath-taking. Great photo Laurie!
