Eastern Continental Divide, Great Allegheny Passage

Very well maintained, and a few very informative posters inside the tunnel. Hard to believe that two drops of rain falling a few inches apart will have totally different destinations. Also, some people have stated that there is parking available here - there is definitely not. You can pull off to the side of the road, but there is not a real parking lot. Suggest using the Deal lot about a mile West.

Rode bikes on the Great Allegheny Passage July 9-13, 2023. Pittsburgh to Cumberland. Rode for 126 miles to get to this point. Then all downhill into Cumberland.

Easy to access with parking right along the road on top the bridge. There is a nice trail leading directly to the tunnel at the bottom of the parking area.

Great to get over the hump, then fly down the other side!

Biking along the Great Alleghany Passage brought us to this landmark. It was a little tiring getting there, but heading down after a nice headstand shot felt do good. Downhill is always better. 🚴‍♀

The GAP is simply my favorite place to bicycle. Elevation change is steady and it is a safe place to enjoy nature

Great climb on the gap and C&O ride From Pittsburgh down to DC

It's the continental divide. Great place to take a break on the GAP especially after pedaling uphill from Cumberland or Frostburg. It's all downhill from here no matter which way you go!

We were elated to reach this place after 3 straight days of climbing on the GAP Trail. It felt like such an accomplishment reaching the top! It'll be easier next year!

After biking south from Pittsburgh this tunnel at the eastern Continental divide was a highlight of the trip.

I rode here from Cumberland on the GAP Trail. It was pretty easy. I rented a bike from CTC in Cumberland, they were pretty great too. Train passed me on the way back

Nice place for a photo op. GAP trail is great to ride bikes on.

We rode from west to east. This, in my opinion, is the way to ride. Several years ago we rode from Cumberland and I whined the whole way to the divide. This year we rode from Connellsville. Mostly a gentle uphill ride to the divide

It was a slow uphill bicycle ride from Meyersdale.

Plenty of parking for cars on top. 100 yard walk from there. Great little spot.

Nice entrance to the trail & very informative history

What an amazing wonder. Had a great time walking to Maryland from here. 12,000+ steps and about 5.5miles round trip. The Big Salvage Tunnel was awesome, the scenery was spectacular and the imagination of all the history that occurred in these parts is beyond words. Very nice well kept trail, some people don't know how to park, and will try to block you in, even with open spots still left to park. So bring a chain to pull them out of the way since they left their brain at home. Looking forward to biking it with the family.

Beautiful Landmark, and no-where to go but down from here.

The trail from PA into MD. Is so well maintained. The elevation change is 3000 feet, but the converted rail is mostly at 2% grade. The Mason Dixon line was also well marked with great historical info.

Peaceful walk through nature. Some distant sounds of traffic, but sparse.

Interesting snippet of American History took place right along the trails you walk.

Be sure to stop and listen to the steady, yet serene babbling brooks and streams.
