The water of the Youghiogheny River flows fast through the Gorge at Ohiopyle. This area, famous as well for two of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces, is a beautiful part of the Laurel Highlands in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Rusty Harman, his daughter Angie, and I biked along the bridge where I took this shot in the summer of 2013. The trail we traveled was 180 miles between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, MD. Over 20 miles of the trail. Great Allegheny Passage, was through Ohiopyle State Park. Great trip. It was fun this summer when we camped here to spend more time enjoying the park.
