Connellsville to Ohio-pyle on the Young Trail

[happyslug]

I did not do this whole trip this year, I did do it last year, but here are some pictures of the trail from Connellsville onward:

The Start of the trial, go up this road and you will come to a bike shop on the main Street in Connnellsville. The Street is a one lane in each direction Street and the light works even for Bicycle if you stay in the Segregated Bike lane on the left in the Picture:



As you go on the trail through town you pass a small playground and enter a fenced in area of the Trail, segregating the trial from the various warehouses in this area:

The grade was you climb back up to the old railroad grade:


A back view of where the old railroad grade and the trail diverge:


The trail on the old Railroad grade:


The first bridge on this part of the grade (Goes over a valley, filled with junk cars and a Small stream, but you do have a good view of the Youg River from here):


A back view of that Bridge:


The Trial between the Bridges:


Less than a mile further you come along another Bridge, over a road and a nice stream and a wide valley:



You then enter the area of the trail closest to the Youg, and the earliest abandoned and thus the most overgrown and shaded:










A nice long but shadow cave, the picture does not do it justice:


These are typical pictures of this part of the trail, the river gets rougher as you get to Rapids at Ohio-Pyle.
