After the historic flooding from Hurricane Helene in September of 2024, the world famous 17 mile downhill bicycle ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail has been temporarily closed from Whitetop to Damascus. Due to erosion of the trails and destruction/damage of the trestles, the US Forest Service has closed access to this part of the VCT until assessments and repairs can be made.
Hop on a shuttle to the quaint and historic town of Abingdon to see the rolling Valley portion of the VCT. Make a stop at Alvarado station (halfway) for a picnic before continuing back to Damascus through the expansive farmlands of SWVA.
An ANSI/CPSC certified helmet is provided
Rent a pedal-assist electric bicycle and hop on a shuttle to the Abingdon trailhead. Coast through the 17-mile Valley portion of the VCT on your e-bike at your own pace. Reservations required for this service. Limited availability.
SHUTTLE ONLY (IF YOU BRING YOUR OWN) - $24.99
All riders 18 years of age and older must fill out a rental waiver and agreement. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign for them.
