    I hve ridden on both sections of this ride, Confluence to Ohiopyle and Ohiopyle to Connellsville. I love the Confluence to Ohiopyle stretch better than Ohiopyle to Connellsville. The Confluence to Ohiopyle trail runs along the river, the foilage is spectacular right now. The Ohiopyle to Coonellsville is a longer stretch but has less scenery IMO. According to the map, they both run along the river, but you can actually see more of the river on the Confluence to Ohiopyle stretch.

    Another beautiful strech on this same trail is Garrett to Meyerdale. It features high Viaduct and many, many windwills on the horizon.

    So that I know which section of the map to look at, is that east or west of Ohiopyle?

    East of Ohiopyle / West of Confluence.
    If you start at Confluence go west toward Ohiopyle.

    Heh, actually I meant Garrett to Meyersdale, but that's ok. I found that section on map 8. Maybe one day I'll do Ohiopyle to Confluence and back, and then the next day I could do Rockwood to Meyersdale (with Garrett in between). Or, I could do Frostburg to Meyersdale. That's the problem with such long trails- Too many decisions!
