There is a trail that I've ridden twice. About 320 miles from Boston, PA to Washington DC. Has anyone done the Pgh-DC ride and can compare it to this ride as far as 1) does it require any street detours (for the most part the PGH-DC ride doesn't) and 2) elevation (Pgh - DC has only 1 hill to speak of but it is challenging going to Pgh 2000 feet rise in about 15 miles). Thank you!

I havent had a chance to ride the GAP(Pitts PA to Cumberland MD) yet but I have done the entire C & O Canal trail(Cumberland to DC)You will find the Katy very similar to the C & O. The Katy is maintained better and has more options on lodging and food.

The Katy only uses the road in a few places-Sedalia and maybe a little in Boonville(somebody correct me if I"m wrong)but its brief and the street is marked.

The elevation on the Katy is no biggie, I still call it flat even though there has been some debate on this site about the issue.
