West Newton to Ohiopyle, 42 miles
We had a beautiful ride along Youghiogheny River today. The fall colors were at their peak, the trail was smooth (for the most part), and until we got near Ohiopyle, we pretty much had the trail to ourselves. The first part of the trail, from West Newton to Connellsville passes a number of very small mining towns, but after Connellsville the route is remote.

Cedar Creek Park is only a few miles upriver from West Newton.

| Just a bit downriver from Connellsville an old railroad bridge has been transformed into the Youghiogheny River Overlook. It goes half-way across the river and ends in a nice viewing platform. |
