Why the GAP in the Summer?
Riding the Great Allegheny Passage in summer offers mild weather, longer daylight hours, and lush scenery. Trail conditions are typically excellent, with dry paths and full amenities like cafes, restaurants and local shops. Wildlife is more active, providing opportunities for nature viewing too! Various events and activities along the trail enhance the experience. In the end, summer brings life to the trail! Offering our riders a more social and engaging atmosphere.
