Virginia Creeper Trail: Biking all 34 Miles in 1 Day

We loved our recent trip to Damascus, VA and the Virginia Creeper Trail. This video shows highlights from our one-day bike ride covering the entire Creeper Trail from the White Top Station area to Abingdon, VA. We start off on the popular 17-mile, all-downhill portion of the trail that goes from White Top to Damascus. Then from Damascus, we biked over the remaining 16 miles of the trail to Abingdon. Throughout the video we provide maps and elevation information. We also provide informative narrative and history about various points of interest along the trail. We hope you enjoy, 'like', and share! And we encourage you to ask questions or provide comments below.
