Hi All. What is weather like the first two weeks of Oct? Plans are to leave Pittsburgh the 02Oct12 for D.C. What is the recommended route to the western trail-head from the Amtrak station?How wet does it get?
And how muddy ? Are the trails still passable?
Will

No way to tell about weather, check 15 day forecast, but the mornings will no doubt be in the 40's. If you get rain the tow path will be very muddy, as I just finished the ride and it hadn't rained for 3 days and there were still puddles. At the Pgh.train station, take Liberty Ave. to Boulevard of the Allies to Grant St. then find the Eliza Furnace Trail and you are on your way.
