Hello WYTC trail members,


The Holidays are here. Say 'Thanks' by renewing your membership.

WYTC appreciates all the support you give our section of the Great Allegheny Passage.

That being said, it is membership renewal time. Your membership can be renewed online  or stop in the West Newton Station. All 100% of your membership dues goes to the trail maintenance by our all volunteer OTHG (over the hill gang). Hope to see you on the trail!!

Thanks again! 

WYTC 


 Or apply to become a valued member now -visit our Membership Page. Complete the form first, then pay. Use your credit cards to pay.

 
Give the perfect birthday, anniversary, Christmas, or Valentine's gift of membership. What a wonderful way to celebrate! 


The WYTC would like to thank all new, existing, and renewing members for their membership dues.  As a WYTC member you are helping to maintain the trail with equipment and supplies. Whatever season, see you on the Trail! 

 

Checkout what is new with the Westmoreland Yough Trail Chapter. New Memorial Benches and Kiosks have been installed in the Memorial Pavilions. 

 

Please be aware that if you place an order for a memorial brick after October 15, 2024 that will mean that the brick can't be installed in the pavilion until next spring due to the cooler weather over the fall and winter.  You can still place an order at any time to remember a loved one, a favorite person or friend, or just to place a fun saying or image in the pavilion.  All brick orders benefit the maintenance efforts of the Over The Hill Gang to keep our section of the trail beautiful and in great shape. 

 

The key aspect is the project’s floor, a brick memorial funded by those who want to remember a loved one or special event. It will be a place for everyone to pause and reflect on that special person or time in their life. For as little as $100.00, each brick can include the names, statement, and graphic of your choosing. A gift that will honor something meaningful to you and keep on giving through your support of one of best trails in Western Pennsylvania.


A special thanks to those who purchased benches and bricks.

    Throughout the 2024 season the WYTC Over the Hill Gang maintenance crew has made renovations to the deck across Collinsburg Road from the Station.

    Throughout the 2024 season the WYTC Over the Hill Gang maintenance crew has been renovating the deck across Collinsburg Road from the West Newton Station.  The deck was cleaned, repaired and repainted and the walkway revitalized.  A picnic table was installed on the deck to provide a spot for eating or just relaxing.

      2024 RTC E-Bike Policy

       In order to maintain the safety of trail users the Regional Trail Corporation, the non-profit organization that owns the property of the Great Allegheny Passage in Allegheny, Westmoreland, and Fayette County, PA, has revised its Mobility Device Policy.  The primary purpose of the revision is to set rules for eBike operation.  It is an effort to stop the use of throttle only riding of eBikes while allowing pedal assist eBike riding that is important to many trail riders.
