Hello everyone,
My first time on here and I am wanting to do both trails from Pittsburg to Washington D.C. My questions are where is there a safe place to leave my car should I decide to drive down to Pittsburg then take the train to D.C. and ride back?
Second, was thinking of going around the end of July, maybe August or even September am open to riding these trails either of these months and as anyone would I would like some really nice weather.
Hope this isn't asking too much. :)

Free, safe parking in Downtown Pittsburgh near he train station is tough thing to find. Depending on the date you finally decide to make your trip, you’re welcome to park your car at my house about nine miles east of Pittsburgh. The details would.have to ne worked out, especially since the train to DC leaves Pittsburgh at 5:20 AM for DC.

I’d be happy to shuttle you from/to my house to Downtown.

September is typically a very nice time to make that trip but note the later you take your trip, the shorter the days will be.

If you do the reverse, you can park in my condo's garage. I'm less than 3 miles from Mile 0 of the C&O, and you can take trails or bike lanes to get to / from there.
