I am going to be doing the great bike tour coming up and have never rode the trail before. Just curious if a drop bar gravel bike is suitable or if I should use mountain bike ?

A drop bar gravel bike will be fine. The GAP &C&O trails are a far cry from a technical trail that would benefit from wider flat bars. If you are riding self supported, a flat bar might however be better suited than drop bars if you plan to use a handlebar roll.
