This is a trail I see mentioned often on social media. The Virginia Creeper is a 34 mile long rail trail located in southwest Virginia. It runs from Abingdon on the west end to near Whitetop Station near the North Carolina State Line on the east end. The town of Damascus in at the half way point. Bike rental and shuttle service is available in Damascus.
This trail got its name from the fact that railroad locomotives had to creep along at a slow speed as they climbed the steep grade. Most railroad tracks are built with a maximum of a 2 % grade, but this corridor has some 7 % grade which is difficult for a locomotive to climb.
