The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) is a 150-mile rail trail stretching from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cumberland, Maryland, and it’s widely considered one of the best long-distance bike trails in the United States. Following rivers, historic rail corridors, and scenic mountain terrain, the GAP offers a smooth, well-maintained ride with a mix of towns, tunnels, bridges, and remote natural beauty.
In this video, we focus on a 22-mile highlight section of the Great Allegheny Passage, riding from Ohiopyle to the Pinkerton Tunnel. This stretch showcases some of the trail’s most memorable features—lush forest scenery, quiet riverside riding, historic rail infrastructure, and the iconic Pinkerton Tunnel itself. It’s an excellent segment for riders short on time or anyone wanting a snapshot of what makes the GAP so special.
Whether you’re planning a full Pittsburgh-to-Cumberland trip or just exploring individual sections of the trail, this ride offers a great look at what to expect on the Great Allegheny Passage.
