C&O Canal Trail Cycling Adventure: Harpers Ferry WV to Cumberland MD
Рет қаралды 792
Күн бұрынCycling adventure along the historic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (C&O Canal) Trail. I started my adventure in Harpers Ferry towards Cumberland. As I pedal along the well-maintained towpath, I enjoy the beauty of the C&O Canal, surrounded by lush forests. Passing historic blockhouses, aqueducts, and beautiful dams on the Potomac River. Traveling through some of the trail's unique features, like the Paw Paw Tunnel, a marvel of 19th-century engineering.

C&O Canal is one of my favorites. I've done the first part to Harpers Ferry three times but the second half was still missing. Now I have completed all away to Pittsburgh. Great trail. 👍

Nice ride. Awesome bridge to start too. Super cool. That was a nice riverside trail. Cool to see the mill and all the locks along the way. Lots of history on that route. Long day and miles. Well done. Have a great day.

The C&O Canal Trail is great. There are free hiker / biker campsites every 4-5 miles or so. At this time I rode from Harper's Ferry to Cumberland. Now I have finished the all trail from Washington DC to Pittsburgh PA 335 miles.

These old canals were built in the early 18'ds before the railroad era. Glad they turned them into beautiful bike trails.

Wow what great views! That one part was rough, glad you did not fall! We want to take the Amtrak to Harpers Ferry someday. This trail looks really nice! Love it! Yeah $39 for shower not worth using the camp ground. Too bad you were not close to a truck stop, could've used their showers for like $13
@FollowThomas 10 ай бұрын
It's an easy trail but in that spot I chose the upper narrow passage, you don't want to fall from there. Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks for the Memories.. My first time biking the C&O was in 2014.. Cumberland to DC.. I heard there changing the trail over to Crushed Limestone I hope they don't.. I stayed at Little Orleans in 2019.. It was a lot cheaper then.. New Owners.. In 2019 Harpers Ferry to Pitt camped every night.. Never a Bad Day on the Trail..
@FollowThomas 10 ай бұрын
I like crushed limestone surface a smoother ride. Yes, Little Orleans campground was $39 too much for the shower. It's a beautiful trail. 👍

You are back in Harper's Ferry! I definitely want to check that place out. Does the train stop there? The camp area looks amazing on the trail. I love seeing places I have seen in pictures. Another great trail ride!
