Shenandoah & Skyline Drive Bike Tour

Is The Shenandoah Calling You?

Our Shenandoah bike tour is a sumptuous blend of Civil War-era historic sites and idyllic American landscapes. You’ll ride through Virginia’s genteel Hunt Country, along Shenandoah National Park’s gorgeous Skyline Drive and then north toward Gettysburg.

Breathtaking Blue Ridge overlooks, pastoral valley farms, and winding mountain passes provide the setting for this incredibly diverse tour. Ride along rolling farm roads, through valleys, down quiet forest roads, and along the famous ridge line of the Blue Ridge Parkway. These are some of the most beautiful bicycle routes you could ever hope to ride.  We’ll retrace the Civil War’s key campaigns in Gettysburg, Antietam and Harpers Ferry. Nightly, relax in gracious inns — two in beautiful country settings, and three in downtown historic districts.
