A neat experience !

Everyone should try this. So different and so much to see. There are 45 trestles on the trail. some are less than a 100 feet but the longest is 600 feet. Eastest place to start is the Whitehouse Station trailhead. I think if I did...More

Beautiful scenery

Enjoyable ride down from Whitetop. You barely have to pedal so it is much easier than it may sound. It can get crowded on weekends with visitors from all over.

Beautiful view around each bend!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed riding the VCT. It was chilly (30s) but worth it. The beauty along the trail was amazing. Highly recommended!

Quite a ride!

This was a very enjoyable ride. However, we did it at a time when there was minimal foliage. We'd suggest timing your ride at time when the foliage is full or changing.

Lots of Laughter for a Cool Ride on Colorful Day

This was our first time riding the VA Creeper; we hope it won't be the last. We took the shuttle to the top of Whitetop, which took a little longer than we thought, about a 25 minute van ride. (If you get car sick and...More

Hi! I am planning a visit later this month to take my hubby and 2 kids to do the VA Creeper Trail. We would also like to do Tweetsie Railroad one day. We are coming from New Bern, NC. We have never been to the mountains so I need lodging suggestions. We would like to do a small cabin type setting if possible. Any suggestions? I looked at the Cabins at Healing Springs but it is booked already. Thank you!

Because of this being peak season for leaf color changing (and its beautiful), places are very booked up. I usually have good luck with VRBO and Travelocity. Go! awesome!!
