Youghiogheny River

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.

    • 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!
