Summer 2020 is a season for unconventional travel, so instead of taking a holiday abroad, think about a two-wheeled adventure from coast-to-coast. Last year, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) recently announced the Great American Rail-Trail, a 4,000-mile bike trail that will connect the East and West coasts via 12 states.
The Great American Rail-Trail will begin in Washington, DC, and end in Washington state, span nearly 4,000 miles, and link together several smaller gateway trails, like Capital Crescent Trail, Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, Panhandle Trail, Hennepin Canal State Trail, Casper Rail Trail, and Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail.
