Thinking about riding the Trail/Passage next summer. Would plan to leave a car in Pittsburgh - take the train to DC - and ride back.

Any suggestions for a hotel and a safe place to leave my car on the far western end of the Passage??

Thanks!

I left mine at a parking garage just a few blocks from the station for about $11/night.

We didn't actually stay in Pittsburgh, we just pulled into the garage a little after 4:00 am and biked to the station. The train was about an hour late, but it still worked out great. 6 days later, biked to the garage and headed home. You will love it!

I left my pickup parked at the Courtyard in Homestead, PA (about 9 miles from Pitt.). Stayed there Saturday night, hit the trail Sunday and returned for it the following Thursday. No charge and felt safe.
