A bike trail challenging to both beginners and experts.
Reviewed By knightma - Lancaster, United States
Some friends had told us about the trail a couple of years ago. We had a great time, rented a bike and shuttle service to the top of the trail. The part from White Top down to Damascus is pretty much all down hill and is pretty easy, even if you haven’t ridden in a while. There are several places to stop along the way and the scenery is great.

This scenic rail to trail park extends for about 34 miles from Damascus, Va to Abingdon. I walked for about an hour and a half and really liked it. There seemed to be a lot of trees along the trail. I'm guessing this would be a great place for a summer hike or bike ride if you like well shaded trails.

Chose to rent in Abingdon, and took the shuttle to top of Whitetop and did the entire 34 mile ride. So glad we did! Made a reservation for 6 people for the 8:30 Shuttle. I recommend that early shuttle if you are doing the entire ride. Every bike we rented was in perfect shape. They were professional yet made you feel like family. Prices were great too. Highly recommend paying a few dollars more to get the "comfort" seat. Well worth it. I would use these folks again for one of the most wonderful rides of my life.
5. History Alive Tours
Bringing history to life has been a passion of mine since I found a copy of the ship's log with my great grandfather's name, bringing our family to America. Following my ancestors across the U.S. has been a true adventure, filled with real-life struggles and victories. Sharing these and stories of others' journeys brings history to life!
