Cycling adventure along the historic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (C&O Canal) Trail. I started my adventure in Harpers Ferry towards Cumberland. As I pedal along the well-maintained towpath, I enjoy the beauty of the C&O Canal, surrounded by lush forests. Passing historic blockhouses, aqueducts, and beautiful dams on the Potomac River. Traveling through some of the trail’s unique features, like the Paw Paw Tunnel, a marvel of 19th-century engineering.

Selamat pagi dari Padang West Sumatra Indonesia .Thanks for sharing my friend.Plz stay connected 20:02
Thomas, I enjoy your videos so much. The beauty of nature, how you pick out all the birds including their calls and especially how positive you are about everything, you are an inspiration with your remarkably upbeat attitude. Thank you
That's awesome sir, amazing cycling adventure route and wonderful view along the way as well, great !
You are back in Harper's Ferry! I definitely want to check that place out. Does the train stop there? The camp area looks amazing on the trail. I love seeing places I have seen in pictures. Another great trail ride!
Just did the entire trip from PIT to DC in September. Unbelievable that you can ride a continuous trail for 350 miles. You are really getting around this year. Keep it up 👍🏼
This section was very cool. I was surprised by the number of free camping options. My friends and I did four! days bikepacking in Vermont in August and loved it. We have decided to do Pittsburgh to DC next year. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful section of trail. I loved the boardwalk pieces right along the canal. Some gorgeous train trestles too. Camping spots looked nice.

Greetings from Naples, Florida. We enjoyed your cycling adventure along the canal. Very nice view and campsites along the way. Thanks for sharing with us, have a great weekend. 💯
Great Video Thomas, What a beautiful trail, the cannal is mush more pretty than the old railway lines, thanks for sharing
Nice video
Very beautiful trip. You really are athletic to go so far in one day. Thanks for doing all the work so I can see the beauty of all the many places you go! Peace & Prayers.
Wow what great views! That one part was rough, glad you did not fall! We want to take the Amtrak to Harpers Ferry someday. This trail looks really nice! Love it! Yeah $39 for shower not worth using the camp ground. Too bad you were not close to a truck stop, could've used their showers for like $13
Thanks for the Memories.. My first time biking the C&O was in 2014.. Cumberland to DC.. I heard there changing the trail over to Crushed Limestone I hope they don't.. I stayed at Little Orleans in 2019.. It was a lot cheaper then.. New Owners.. In 2019 Harpers Ferry to Pitt camped every night.. Never a Bad Day on the Trail..
Nice ride. Awesome bridge to start too. Super cool. That was a nice riverside trail. Cool to see the mill and all the locks along the way. Lots of history on that route. Long day and miles. Well done. Have a great day.
where is 4:20, 4:30, 7:02. And is the Paw Paw tunnel opened. The last time I was there it was closed.
