If you are feeling the urge to get on your bike and do some traveling across the United States, here are some of the best bike touring routes you should consider taking this summer.
Pacific Coast Highway
Of course, we have to start it off with Pacific Coast Highway. It offers the perfect blend of great roads, amazing views, and plenty of points of interest along the way. You’ll get to see Golden Gate Bridge, stroll the Big Sur coastline, make breaks at Redwood National and State Parks, and much more. Of course, if going through California, Oregon, and Washington is too much for a single trip, you can pick out the part of the route that you fancy the most.
Natchez Trace Parkway
For scenic views and a bit of history, head on the Natchez Trace Parkway. The 444-mile-long road goes through Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee and offers a chance to enjoy beautiful nature, explore historical landmarks, take a breather at relaxing campgrounds, or take part in various activities like swimming on the Cub Lake.
Katy Trail
Missouri’s Katy Trail is 240 miles long and follows the bank of the Missouri River. You will pass through lush green forests, marvel at the mesmerizing river-overlooking cliffs, and visit charming small towns that are rich in tradition and points of interest.
