Development of the Allegheny Highlands Trail has been a continuing project of the Somerset County Rails-to-Trails Association, a member of the Allegheny Trail Alliance. The alliance is comprised of seven trail groups united to build the 204-mile network now known as The Great Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cumberland, Maryland. With the connection in place to the C&O Canal Towpath National Historical Park, trail users can now venture from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., taking advantage of a unique and outstanding recreational opportunity that also serves as a celebration of Western Pennsylvania's railroad and industrial heritage.
