I am riding the DC to Pittsburgh route and making plans to meet my sister at Dravo Landing to ride my last section together.

Is she able to park temporarily at Dravo Landing at Henderson Road to drop off her camping gear then park overnight at the trailhead in Buena Vista?

There is no parking at Dravo Landing. There is no public access to Dravo Landing via Henderson Road. The closest parking is in Buena Vista off of McGowan Road. That parking location is about 1.5 miles from Dravo Landing.

Another option would be to meet and camp with you at the GAP Trail Campground in West Newton which is about 7 miles from Dravo Landing. It is a pay-to-stay campground albeit at a modest cost and offers showers and access to places to eat while there. Just a thought.
