Hiking the Great Allegheny Passage Trail
Hiking the Great Allegheny Passage Trail

This episode is part of our series Hiking the Highlands, a monthly podcast about the numerous hiking trails in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania and interviews with individuals interested or active with this outdoor activity. Hosted by The Tribune-Democrat's Josh Byers. "The Great Allegheny Passage stretches from Cumberland, Maryland, to Pittsburgh and picks up where the C&O Canal Towpath stops on its way from Washington, D.C. Within the more than 40 miles of the GAP in Somerset County there's roughly as many attractions for visitors to inspect, such as the Salisbury Viaduct, which provides a breathtaking view from its 101-foot height. Joining me this month to provide background on this historic path is Somerset County parks and trails Director Lindsay Baer, who some listeners may recognized from the 9/11 Trails episode. Larry Adams, county parks board members, also tags along and provides invaluable information about the Great Allegheny Passage, which he gained while building the first 16 miles during his time managing Ohiopyle State Park."

Heroes Were Made
Heroes Were Made

For those who can vividly recall the events of #September11, 2001, and for those too young to remember that day, we offer the book “Heroes Were Made” – expanded and updated for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. This book, initially published in 2011, is a heartfelt tribute to the victims of United #Flight93, to the first responders on the scene and to the Somerset County community that embraced the family members of the crash victims and took on the responsibility of preserving and telling the story of their courage in the face of terror. Heroes Were Made features exclusive photographs and reports from nearly 20 years of The Tribune-Democrat’s coverage of the site including some images and stories found nowhere else. Pick up your copy today at The Tribune-Democrat office at 425 Locust Street in Johnstown, at the Flight 93 National Memorial, or online at heroesweremade.com

“A tribune of the people, ‘standing up’ for Johnstown always.” -Anderson H. Walters

The Tribune-Democrat has been serving Johnstown and the surrounding areas since 1952, the year when city's two major newspapers – the Tribune and the Democrat – merged to give the region a singular, powerful voice.

From the 1889 flood to the rise and fall of the steel industry to being crowned the first Hockeyville USA, Johnstown's history has been recorded in the pages of The Tribune-Democrat and its predecessors. The Tribune-Democrat and TribDem.com have a collection of award-winning writers, photographers and editors dedicated to telling the stories of our city and our region.

The Tribune-Democrat serves Cambria, Somerset, Bedford, Indiana and Westmoreland counties seven days a week in its print editions and 24 hours a day at TribDem.com. Follow The Tribune-Democrat on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

As said by one of the newspaper’s early leaders, Anderson H. Walters, our publication is “The organ of no faction or clique, and will aim to be in truth, a tribune of the people, ‘standing up’ for Johnstown always.”
