The Virginia Creeper Trail is a recreational trail (rails to trails) located in Southwest Virginia (SWVA). The Virginia Creeper stretches 34 miles from Abingdon, Virginia down through to the lovely town of Damascus, Virginia (known as the Heart of the Virginia Creeper) along the Whitetop Laurel River and up to its highest point Whitetop Station near the NC State Line at Whitetop, Virginia.

We'll depart from Matthews Presbyterian Church on Friday, September 20, 2024, at 6:30 pm and travel to the Creeper Trail Campground (2248 Whitetop Gap Rd. Whitetop, VA 24292, 276-388-3426). We'll be camping in the Grand Central Group Campsite.

On Saturday morning, we'll travel down to Damascus, VA to pick up bikes and get shuttled to the top of the trail at Whitetop Station. We'll ride the Creeper Trail back down to Damascus, drop off our bikes and travel back up to the Creeper Trail Campground.

The cost (campsite, bikes, and food) for this trip is:
13 and over: $57.00
Under 13: $52.00
