This rail trail is unlike anything I have ever ridden before. Between the scenery, small towns, weather, and general accessibility.
The history of the United States is brought to life through the lens of bikepacking. The Great Allegheny Passage and Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath offer a unique opportunity to explore the past while enjoying scenic views and challenging terrain.
If you're interested in seeing what I spent over the course of 7 days, and all the gear I brought along with me check out this video:
