GPX file GAP downtown PITTS?
Can anybody share a GPX file of the GAP from its starting point in downtown Pittsburgh? I rode two years ago starting in Homestead, through Washington DC. In two weeks, I'm riding it again, starting at 11th Street and Liberty Avenue, by the Westin. I think that is pretty close to where the trail begins, but I can't find a detailed map since the newest Pittsburgh section of the GAP hasn't been open too long. A GPX would be a huge help. Can anybody help a brother out?

You can get right down to the fountain these days.

Here is mine, including a futile attempt to find a completely off-road path at the start. Definitely go all the way to the point, there is a marker in the sidewalk there between the fountain and the rivers.

The other end includes the elusive "mile marker 0":

and a video that was invaluable in finding it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kzs51zRsSY

Thanks, everybody. This is very helpful. Last time I rode it, I couldn't find the Mile 0. The video is very helpful. This time I will make sure to get a picture at the start by the plaque in the sidewalk by the fountain and also at Mile 0 in Georgetown. What a great treasure we have with this trail.
