Nice photos, thanks PedalingWalrus. DC area had such an astounding stretch of rainy weather in late spring I was wondering how the C&O/GAP riders managed things. I wish the C&O trail could be fixed up & paved since it's so vulnerable to rain damage. Wouldn't look as rustic but then the C&O wasn't built as a nature trail anyway. Last fall I drove to Cumberland to check out trailhead & facilities for a GAP trip & was surprised to see how nice it was including a free parking lot for GAP users.
