Fog lifts off the Youghiogheny and the old railbed opens ahead — a smooth ribbon of crushed limestone that dares riders to go farther. On an electric-assist bike from White Water Adventurers, the Laurel Highlands unfold at walking pace or with a steady hum beneath you: river bends flashing rock, fern-carpeted slopes, and the sudden, wide views where the trail climbs above the valley.
