Great Allegheny Passage

Looking across the Pinkerton High Bridge
into the tunnel.  The Pinkerton Low Bridge
is on the other side of the tunnel.
Having enjoyed this bike ride in the past, we were encouraged to ride this trail again.  I especially like the challenge of traversing the high bridges and the long Pinkerton Tunnel.  We parked Kelly VI in Confluence, PA and rode uphill following the Casselman River.  Of course, that meant our return ride was downhill.  Although, since this is a rail trail, the ride seems pretty flat the entire way.

Lots of great views along the trail.

Looking north from the Pinkerton Low Bridge.

The Pinkerton Bridges are built on the 
original railroad bridge pylons.

We celebrated our trail ride with lunch here
