All are located along four major trails — viz., the 185-mile C&O Trail in western Maryland, the 148-mile Great Allegheny Passage (formerly P to C) Trail in southwestern Pennsylvania, and both the 20-mile Mt. Vernon and 45-mile W&OD Trails in northern Virginia. This planner is available from the group’s web site at no charge, whence it may also be ordered in print form for $3.00 (which charge covers postage and handling).
