A former US Marine, Ryan Gardill, used to enjoy backpacking. As his back and joints began feeling the effects of carrying a backpack, he traded his hobby for bike riding.
This opened up a whole new world for the 29-year-old from Lancaster, PA. He heard about a bike trail going from Pittsburg to Washington, DC, and decided to try it. He and his colleague started on the 350-mile trip, biking along the converted railroad trails. The Great American Rail-Trail is the most arduous biking initiative the US has ever seen. Stretching 3,700 miles from DC, spanning 12 states to the west of Seattle, it is an idea that has been in the making for 50 years. The official route was announced in May 2019 by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a non-profit leading the effort.

The bike trail is built next to or on top of abandoned railway lines with smooth asphalt to crushed stone surfaces. These railbanks make up over 24,000 miles of multi-use trails zigzagging across the United States. Predicted to be finished before 2040, close to one-sixth of Americans will live within 50 miles of the route. This experience will allow people to view the country in a way they can’t from an airplane or car window.
There are many exciting adventures available in the US for you and your family. Contact USA Visa Consultant today and begin the process to a dream come true.
