For our last couple days in Ohioplye (and our last couple days of this epic adventure!) we spent time checking out more of the area. The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP trail) is a spectacular bike trail that runs through Ohiopyle. We biked the 20 miles round trip to Confluence, PA and found a quaint little cafe to have lunch. Riding on the back of Jake’s bike for miles, Penelope was getting COLD. Oddly enough, pretty much the whole town of Confluence is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so we had a really hard time finding a place to buy Penelope a sweatshirt. In the end, we found a Dollar General open (but with zero long sleeve shirts in stock) so Penelope DIY-ed an outfit out of 2 pairs of leggings.

The next day we explored some of Ohiopyle State Park’s main attractions: Cucumber Falls and the Natural Waterslides. We parked out the Waterslides and hiked along the river to the Falls. Cucumber falls is really special because you can actually play in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. Most of the waterfalls we’ve visited strictly prohibit climbing on the rocks. After spending so much time at the waterfall we were tired when we got to the waterslides. They are basically a gently sloping waterfall/river that you slide down on the smooth rocks. It’s amazing. Penelope was nervous so only tackled the top part. Next time we’ll arrive earlier and with more energy!
