i am planning a trip from Pittsburgh to DC first week of June ... how are the conditions of the trail, and is there any detours i should be aware of ??

The trail from Pitt-DC is free and clear of any detours or closures. Conditions should be normal as it's been warm and dry the last two days. C&O is usually muddy in spots even days after it rains as much of it is under tree canopy and it does not dry out as fast as the GAP.

I just finished riding the GAP-C&O from Pittsburgh to DC on Saturday, 5/23/15. Both trails were in great shape, better than when I rode them in June 2014, with no detours. However, it hadn't rained much over the past week or so. If there is heavy rain during your ride or shortly before leaving, the C&O will be muddy in spots.
