 Guest River2205 viewsThis is typical of what you will see of the Guest River.

There are a couple of larger cascades that I could not get to due to time restrictions but, rest assured I will return in the Fall when the leaves are gone.Sep 20, 2011

 Cheat!2216 viewsI zoomed in on this little cascade and used filters but, it's still pretty.

located on the last bridge before the trail ends in a train coming at you.

BJ wasn't too happy about the train deal, she has this thing about trains.

Not to worry, the railtrail is on what used to be a spur and the train missed.Sep 20, 2011

On four accounts you hear the river and a falls roaring.Sep 20, 2011

 Beginning and End2259 viewsCumberland, MD where the Great Allegheny Passage begins and the C&O Tow Path ends.

A truly neat city, especially downtown.

Anywhere I can sit outside, eat good "Q", wash it down with a beer and get BJ stitched up from her latest bike accident, is a good lace to be in the Summertime.Aug 20, 2011
