Allegheny to Shawnee

A journey from the Allegheny Mountains through the heart of Ohio and Indiana, concluding in the rugged landscapes of the Shawnee National Forest.


Route: Rockville → Coopers Rock State Forest → Oglebay Park → Wheeling → German Village → Scioto Mile → Short North Arts District → Indianapolis City Market → Effingham → Carbondale → Giant City State Park → Garden of the Gods Recreation Area → Carbondale

We're trekking from the Maryland suburbs all the way to Southern Illinois—a classic cross-country push that trades the Atlantic watershed for the Mississippi Valley.
