You'll love riding specially designated biking/walking trails on some of our most popular tours — including our 6-Day Idaho Trails Adventure Bike Tour and a variety of tours that include the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) Trail. Enjoy quiet cycling, amazing scenery and no cars on these trails. Because of their origin as railroad lines, many "rails-to-trails" routes feature gentle grades, converted tunnels and dramatic soaring trestles.

Some of these trails are paved, while others have a crushed gravel surface and/or offer more challenging cycling. Feel free to contact us to help you find the best tour for you. Read a short summary of each of trail tour here, or click the link to visit the full tour page:
