Bicycling Magazine had a list in April 2021 of the Best Long Bike Trails in the U.S. I adopted the list as our bucket list to complete over the next few years. Last summer we knocked three more of the list - the Paul Bunyan, the Greenbrier and the Washington & Old Dominion. I have starred the paths that we have biked some or all.
*Great Allegheny Passage | 150 miles long | Cumberland, Maryland to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | We have ridden parts of this trail. Great KOA campground near Connellsville, PA right on the trail. |
