BRUNER RUN OVERLOOK

Description:
The Great Allegheny Passage is a 153 mile bike trail between Cumberland, MD and Pittsburgh. The trail winds through the Allegheny Mts, not over them, and along the way offers some spectacular views of the rivers it follows. The Youghiogheny River Vista, just north of Bruner Run, is one of those views.
