Took a #solstice walk on the #GreatAlleghenyPassage trail along the Monongahela river (the Mon, as we locals call it). You'd never guess from this photo that there's a sprawling, busy shopping center to my left. Along the #trail the noise and bustle faded away, until I only enjoyed the company of starlings and gulls.

Planning a GAP tour for the spring. So excited! Any highlights that must go on the itinerary? We are doing short mileage per day and staying in hotels, so anything is up for consideration…especially coffee shops and bars. #BikeTooter #GAPtrail #GreatAlleghenyPassage
