I agree Tom. I find it strange that both ends of the two trails are so poorly marked. Georgetown Mile 0 on the C&O is still a mystery to many and its lacks any good signage to tell riders which direction to go, especially though the rowing club area. The same with the end of the GAP at Point State Park. Which path out of The Point do you take if you've never seen it before? It's not marked. And since the GAP trail doubles as the Three Rivers Heritage Trail coming out of downtown Pittsburgh, which branch of it do you take? Do you cross the Mon River at Smithfield Bridge or Hot Metal Bridge? I've done it three times and know it good so it works for me but always wondered about first time visitors and how many wrong turns and trackbacks they have done trying to figure it out. The Allegheny Trail Alliance has done an incredible job in ROW acquisitions over the years. I'm hopeful the next enhancements will be addressing the poor signage, especially Pittsburgh to just past McKeesport.
