 The TransAmerica Bicycle Trail was originally mapped with the intention of riding eastbound, but many riders choose to ride westbound.The route goes through several national parks, such as Yellowstone and Grand Teton; small cities like Missoula, MT, and Carbondale, IL; and historical sites, especially at the route’s end in Yorktown, VA, in the Historic Triangle.The terrain of the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail varies from flat, straight roads in Kansas, to steep, windy pitches in Kentucky.
