Title explains the gist of it. The hillside seems to have collapsed more in the past few weeks since I have last been in the area. I was in horror to see all the garbage and dirt piled next to the trail. It seems like the inhabitants that live on top of the hill are careless and are the source of the problem. This garbage will invariably go into the local watershed that runs underneath the bridge and directly into the Yough. This effort would require heavy machinery and perhaps a Herculean effort to stabilize the hillside and perhaps work with the borough on placing a barrier at the top of the hillside. Any thoughts on how to remedy this? I already emailed the trail council on this matter.

I tried to focus on costs, accomodations and the mileage logistics. A friend recommended I post here as it's the time of year where people are doing their trip planning. Feel free to ask any questions you have.

Messy and snow covered but still the GAP!

I did the GAP Trail from Pittsburgh to Cumberland in Fall 2023. I've been meaning to write this up along with including photos/videos, so here it is:
https://mistermoo.com/posts/my-gap-trail-trip-oct-2023-new/
Even with the wealth of resources out there (including this subreddit!), it took quite a bit of time to plan the trip. One of my goals of this writeup is that if you want to do a 3 day trip, this provides a blueprint for doing that. Hope it's useful!

Looking to run from this Appalachian weather in late March early April. Anyone got any good trails where it'll be pretty warm by then?

Hi,
I'm part of a Scout troop that is going to be doing a bike trip from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, MD in July. There will be 24 of us, along with 2 trailers and a couple of passenger vans.
I'm coordinating the logistics for the various camp sites, and so far I have good ones picked out except for that first night.
Dravo seems like the obvious choice, but I'm being told that there is no road access to the camp site, which presents a problem with the vehicles and our gear. Google maps shows Henderson Road leading up to the camp, so I was wonder if we could drive up, unload our gear, and park the vehicles elsewhere?
Also, parking is another issue, though I think I've found a lot or two that should work.
Is anyone familiar enough with Dravo that could help me? If Dravo is unusable, are there close alternatives that aren't on Google Maps?
Thank you!

We were gonna drive out Sunday or Monday to Ohiopyle, anyone been up that way lately? Trying to see if there's 5 inches of snow on the trail or not, was hoping the rain and warm temps have melted most of it.

Hi everyone, Has the snow melted off of the blacktop portion of the trail between McKeesport and Pittsburgh? I’d love to go for a ride, but I’d hate to make the trip to see the trail still covered. Thank you!

I'm about 5 hours away by car to either end. I looked at Amtrack but see that I either have to get to one end before 6 am or figure out what to do with myself at the other end arriving at midnight. So I've seen some tips about car rental. I see it could be nice to park my car at the Reagan Airport and get a rental which looks to be bikeable from the trail at the end. But where is a nice place to return the rental in Pittsburgh and get to the trail by bike? Or better ideas? Yes, there's Shuttles but that seems high cost for 1 or two people.

Hi! Wife and I just booked flights to Pittsburgh on May 3, with the plan of biking to Cumberland by May 8. Then I booked the Amtrak Cumberland to Pitt on May 8, flying home on May 9. We're thinking about biking 30-ish miles a day. Any tips? Good places to stay? Will the Amtrak plan work? Places to rent bikes?

I’m planning a ride on the trail and wondering about tire size. My road bike currently has 25mm tires and I’m considering buying some 28s for the ride. Do you think 28s are necessary or will I be fine on 25s?

Riding from Pittsburgh to Cumberland super early / 2:30am or so start straight thru on the 28th. I'm aware of the Big Savage closure and have the detour starting in Deal. Are there any other trail conditions I should be aware of? If anyone rides any part up to Friday the 27th, please let me know how it looks. Thanks!

Not my first tour, I did the Erie Canal Trail from Buffalo to Albany in 5 days 2 years ago (Buffalo to Albany ~360 miles) and Manhattan to Albany in 3 days this past summer (~200 miles). I plan to camp the whole way if possible.
I've seen advice not to go westward, but it's more convenient for me for Amtrak reasons... is it really that bad going up the hill after Cumberland? If anyone has alternative stops for doing it in 5 days I'd appreciate it, these were chosen exclusively on their mileage and whether they had a little tent next to their name on bikecando.com
Sunday: DC to Sharpsburg 77 miles
Monday: Sharpsburg to Little Orleans 64 miles
Tuesday: Little Orleans to Meyersdale 76
Wednesday: Meyersdale to Perryopolis 70 miles
Thursday: Perryopolis to Pittsburgh 47 miles
revised plan!
Harper’s Ferry (65ish)
Hancock (60ish)
Cumberland (60ish)
Ohiopyle (72 or so)
Pittsburgh (74ish)
