The concept behind Adventure Cycling's National Bicycle Route Network is simple: Cyclists need quiet, scenic roads and mountain bike trails to enjoy themselves on bicycle trips. Adventure Cycling researchers carefully link together rural roads to create low-trafficked routes through some of the nation's most scenic and interesting terrain.

Their routes usually aren't the most direct way to go, but they're not meant to be. They want you to see a rural America that can't be seen traveling from the freeways.

This route network was started in 1976 with the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail; today there are more than 36,180 miles of routes in the Network.

These routes are available to you in 300 - 400 mile map sections, so you can plan a weekend trip or a summer-long adventure.

Adirondacks Loop Trail Map. Adventure Cycling Association. When ridden in a counter-clockwise direction, the Adirondack Park Loop travels from Schenectady north, crossing into Adirondack Park just north of Saratoga Springs. Adirondack Park is the largest publicly protected area in the lower forty-eight states, greater in size than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Park combined. Passing through Ticonderoga, the route hugs the western shore of Lake Champlain as it continues north. At Port Henry there is an optional spur to continue north to Port Kent, to connect to a ferry to Burlington, Vermont. The main route continues west through Lake Placid, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games. The route can be somewhat hilly in the park, with climbs ranging up to 1,500 feet. The route uses lightly traveled roads with minimal shoulders. Paved shoulders prevail where traffic is moderate.

Allegheny Mountains Loop Trail Map. Adventure Cycling Association. The Allegheny Mountains Loop offers a wide variety of riding types from pavement to gravel, from gentle grades along river valleys to steep, muscle burning climbs and fast descents over ridges, and from busy U.S. highways to lightly trafficked county roads and rail trails where no cars are allowed. Besides the 395.5-mile main route there are 4 options which give the cyclist choices in the mileage they choose to ride. The route begins and ends in Blacksburg, VA, and crosses back and forth between Virginia and West Virginia several times. Highlights along the route include the Humpback Covered Bridge, Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, and excursion train rides from the town of Durbin.

Atlantic Coast Route Series. Adventure Cycling Association. 2,525 miles -- Adventure Cycling's Atlantic Coast route, from Bar Harbor, Maine, to Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, takes you through a region rich in history. The route passes directly through Washington, D.C. and Richmond, and is linked with spurs to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston and Savannah. The Florida Connector map offers a tranquil side trip from St. Augustine to Ft. Myers Beach via the Orlando area, then on to Ft. Lauderdale, bypassing the busy A1A coastal route.
Route map.

	$120.60	62-2230-AC	Bar Harbor, ME to Ft. Myers Beach, FL. Set of 8 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC1	Bar Harbor, ME to Windsor Locks, CT. Bar Harbor is located on Mount Desert Island near Acadia National Park. On Mount Desert Island, you'll find some rugged hills and a considerable amount of recreational traffic in the summer months and during the fall color season. West of Freeport, the route heads inland on somewhat hilly, less-trafficked roads to avoid Portland, Maine, before looping back to the coast at Kennebunk. The route follows very quiet rural county roads from Exeter to the outskirts of Nashua, though traffic increases in and near towns. The 29-mile Boston Spur begins in Littleton, and provides access to the city center on a combination of busy thoroughfares and a the Minuteman Bikeway. The terrain of southern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and northern Connecticut is hillier. The majority of the route in Connecticut is quiet rural county roads except of the section into Windsor Locks, which has typical urban congestion.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC2	Windsor Locks, CT to Norristown, PA. Western Connecticut is rural and quite hilly. As you enter New York, the roads are generally good and signing is adequate. Expect a moderate amount of traffic which increases as you approach towns. You'll continue to encounter hills until reaching Hyde Park, in the Hudson River Valley. You'll follow this rolling valley south to busy Poughkeepsie, and cross the Hudson River on the walkway over the Hudson pedestrian bridge. The route follows river valleys and crosses the Shawnagunk Mountains to Port Jervis at New York/New Jersey border. Here, you'll begin to parallel the course of the Delaware River. Roads south of Delaware Water Gap through the remote Delaware Valley are narrow and poorly paved. You'll cross the Delaware River for the final time in Lambertville, New Jersey, which is near Trenton. The route continues west from Lambertville into Conshohocken. The New York Spur traverses rural countryside until it reaches the suburbs of eastern New Jersey where you'll encounter urban riding conditions.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC3	Norristown, PA to Richmond, VA. n Conshohocken, you'll use the Schuylkill Trail, cross the Schuylkill River, and continue on a bike path through Valley Forge National Historic Park. You might see Amish horse drawn carriages on the quiet roads near Bowmansville. Hills in this area are not severe, but the country certainly isn't flat. You'll cross the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightville. In northern Maryland, there are a few short, steep descents; caution is advised because of the short sight distances. Nearing Baltimore, two route options are available. The main route skirts the city to the west, using county roads that are often hilly. The Chesapeake Bay Alternate through Baltimore avoids most of the heavy traffic north of the city. Entering Washington, D.C. the route uses the Rock Creek and the Capital Crescent trails. In Virginia, for the most part you'll be riding on occasionally busy well-signed and well-surfaced network of county roads. The terrain is rolling, with a few steep hills.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC4	Richmond, VA to Wilmington, NC. You can expect heavy traffic leaving Richmond, though for the remainder of the route in Virginia you will be on predominantly rural roads. These roads wander through tobacco and peanut fields over slightly rolling country. The route becomes more level in North Carolina. The beach access roads north of Wilmington will be busier during tourist season and on weekends. The Outer Banks Alternate is 78 miles longer than the main route. Wind is an important riding factor on the exposed Outer Banks. The inland route is more sheltered, and should be used during stormy weather. Click on enlargement for detail.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC5	Wilmington, NC to Statesboro, GA. Wilmington has heavy recreational traffic along the beach south to Fort Fisher and the ferry crossing the mouth of Cape Fear River. From Shalotte the terrain is essentially flat and follows two-lane roads through farm country and small towns. These conditions continue into South Carolina. The spur into Charleston gets busy as you near the city. A narrow country bridge crosses the Savannah River into Georgia, where the route heads inland to skirt around Fort Stewart and Savannah. The terrain becomes slightly rolling. Statesboro access is easy and the section ends in downtown.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC6	Statesboro, GA to St. Augustine, FL. The 59.5 mile Savannah spur begins in Register, Georgia, and parallels I-16, so expect local traffic on it. Traffic increases as you near downtown. The last half-mile of the route winds through three small squares in the historic district. The route south from Statesboro is rural and occasionally traverses pine plantations. A highlight of this section is the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Okefenokee Alternate. Expect urban riding conditions while skirting Jacksonville, Florida, and the string of beach comunities to the south. Roads in northern Florida have somewhat higher traffic levels than found in Georgia. The route ends in historic St. Augustine, FL.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC7	St. Augustine to Key West, FL. Starting in St. Augustine, the route is urban/suburban most of the way down the coast through Miami. SR A1A along the ocean is adjacent to multiple aquatic preserves and wildlife refuges. Opportunities to enjoy the beach are plentiful and the county parks often include such amenities as picnic tables, cold water, showers and toilets. South of Jupiter, campgrounds for tenting are almost nonexistent until south of Miami. On the road to Key West the roadways have generous shoulders, though we recommend using the bike paths. Bahia Honda State Park, north of Key West, offers multiple opportunities to enjoy and learn about the reef environment of the Keys. Choose from activities such as snorkeling, windsurfing and visiting the museum exhibits. To create a loop route from Key West, a ferry is available to Fort Myers where it is possible to join the Florida Connector map route and return to Fort Lauderdale. Space is limited on the ferries, so when you make your reservations, be sure to let them know in advance that you have a bike.
	$16.75	62-2230-AC8	Florida Connector map - St. Augustine, DisneyWorld, Ft. Myers Beach, to Ft. Lauderdale.

Florida Connector Map - St. Augustine, DisneyWorld, Ft. Myers Beach, to Ft. Lauderdale. The Florida Connector creates the opportunity for two loop routes in Florida. The main loop is created by intersecting the Atlantic Coast Route Section 7, from St. Augustine via Ft. Myers to Ft. Lauderdale. A second loop option is to cycle from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West returning to Ft. Myers on a ferry and then across the state returning to Ft. Lauderdale.

Grand Canyon Connector Map. Cedar City, UT, to Tempe, AZ (565 mi). This connector route between the Western Express Route and the Southern Tier Route is a prime example of the vast and beautiful American West. It also connects the magnificent Zion National Park and both sides of Grand Canyon National Park. From the Western Express Route, it offers the opportunity to access Zion National Park and the north rim of the Grand Canyon. From the Southern Tier Route, it is 185 miles to reach the south rim of the Grand Canyon. One of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world, the Grand Canyon is unmatched in the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. Grand Canyon National Park is a World Heritage Site.

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Adventure Cycling Association. 2,470 miles -- The world's longest mountain bike route; traces the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico. The route runs from Roosville, Montana to Antelope Wells, New Mexico, and includes six sections of map.
Route map.

	$105.52	62-2230-GD	Banff, Alberta to Antelope Wells, NM. Set of 7 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD7	Banff, Alberta to Roosville, MT. This route extends the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route into Canada along the spine of the Rocky Mountains. Beginning in Banff, it heads southward through spectacular scenery to Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The route uses Elk Pass (6,443 feet) to cross the Continental Divide (known as the Great Divide in Canada). The towns of Elkford and Sparwood offer services. From Sparwood, you can choose to follow the main route through miles and miles of unbridled wildernessFernie Alternate, a more populated and mostly paved option. The endpoint is Roosville, which is the beginning of the U.S. Stretch of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD1	Roosville, MT, to Polaris, MT. This section of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is entirely within Montana. The route begins at the border and quickly enters forested backcountry. It skirts the western border of Glacier National Park. The route goes through towns every 4-5 days for restocking supplies. You'll either be going over passes or riding through valleys enroute to the next climb, and it's considered the most challenging portion of the entire route. You'll go through historic mining regions lying between Seely Lake and Polaris, Montana. In addition to a sampling of some of its finest backcountry, two of the state's largest cities are encountered- Butte and Helena, the state capital. Fascinating historic sites beckon in both communities, so plan to lay over at least a day in each.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD2	Polaris, MT, to South Pass City, WY. This section of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route traverses the broad open spaces of southwest Montana, a part of the state that could easily be responsible for the nickname "Big Sky Country". It also incorporates the short, 72-mile section of the route claimed by Idaho, thirty miles of which are on a rail-trail conversion following the route of the old Oregon Short Line, which was responsible for delivering turn-of-the-century tourists to Yellowstone National Park. The trail then enters Wyoming, cutting between Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks on the little-traveled Ashton-Flagg Road. The second half of this section takes you through the wild and spectacular Teton country, and winds its way down to historic South Pass City, where thousands of Oregon Trail travelers crossed the Continental Divide.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD3	South Pass City, WY, to Silverthorne, CO. This section of the Great Divide Route crosses the Continental Divide at Rawlins, traversing the wide-open spaces of south-central Wyoming. A portion of the route between South Pass City and Rawlins drops into the Great Divide Basin, a conundrum of a region where falling precipitation drains neither east toward the Atlantic Ocean nor west to the Pacific. Rather, it drains only internally, evaporating or flowing into intermittent lakes. Once in Colorado, you'll be in higher altitudes. Steamboat Springs, a well-known resort town, is a good place for a stopover day to restock supplies and visit a bike shop. The route crosses the Colorado River and winds its way over several passes into Silverthorne, also along the TransAmerica Trail.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD4	Silverthorne, CO, to Platoro, CO. This section of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route follows the paved Blue River trail through bustling Summit County, the most urbanized area on the entire route, then crosses the Continental Divide at Boreas Pass and descends into the broad, windswept basin known as South Park. South of the small town of Hartsel it climbs back into the mountains, then drops into Salida, following a twisting dirt road that offers arresting views across the Arkansas River Valley of the high "Fourteeners" of the renowned Collegiate Range. South of Cochetopa Pass-the seventeenth crossing of the Continental Divide since the Canadian border- the terrain turns more southwest canyon-country in nature, and Hispanic influences are obvious in the small settlements near the route. The high San Juan Mountains south of Del Norte, meanwhile, provide astonishing contrasts: the route leads directly through the severely scarred Summitville mining district. But just around the bend await some of the prettiest high-country glades and meadows found in the entire Rocky Mountain region.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD5	Platoro, CO, to Pie Town, NM. This segment of the Great Divide Moutnain Bike Route climbs out of Colorado and into New Mexico. There it traverses the remote, high-elevation Tusas Mountains before passing through three New Mexico villages straight out of Old Mexico: Canon Plaza, Vallecitos, and El Rito. South of Abiquiu, home of the late painter Georgia O'Keefe, a tough, 25-mile climb up Polvadera Mesa leads into the Jemez Mountains. Elk and black bears are common residents in this heavily forested portion of Santa Fe National Forest. South of Cuba the route winds through the carved maze of terrain that separates Mesa Chivato and Chaco Mesa. It is an incredibly eroded, otherworldly landscape of pinon-studded plateaus, deep arroyos, tall volcanic plugs, and abandoned ranches. This spectacular and exceedingly remote stretch of land dishes up dozens of short, steep climbs and descents. From there the route winds across the northwest flank of the San Mateo Mountains before dropping into the sprawling community of Grants and then skirting the lava flows of El Malpais National Monument. The route in this section remains on the east side of the Continental Divide until just north of Pie Town, where it crosses to the west side.
	$16.75	62-2230-GD6	Pie Town, NM, to Antelope Wells, NM. This stretch begins in Pie Town, home to the Pie-o-Neer Cafe, famous for its...yep, you guessed it. From Pie Town all the way to the Mexican border the route toys with the Continental Divide, crossing it no fewer than eleven times. After skirting the barren Plains of San Augustin, then climbing across the exceptionally steep and rugged mountains of the Gila National Forest, where each steep descent is followed by an equally steep climb, the route pulls into Silver City. Here the mountains end and the desert begins. South of Silver City the route enters true desert, rich with lizards and road runners. For several miles north of Separ the route follows directly along the Continental Divide, providing stunning views of the empty country stretching away in every direction. The exceptionally low-traffic State Highway 81 leads to the international border at Antelope Wells, through a wild-western landscape that provides a memorable end to the world's longest mountain bike route.

Great Parks Route. Adventure Cycling Association. 2,455 miles The jewels of the US park system (Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone, Teton, Glacier and Grand Canyon national parks) are linked with the gems of the Canadian park system (Waterton, Kootenay, Banff, and Jasper national parks) on the Great Parks Route. Challenge the Rockies on this incredible route through the most scenic landscape in North America.

	$120.60	62-2230-GP	Jasper, Alberta, to Durango, CO. Set of 8 maps listed below.
	$16.75	62-2230-GP1	Jasper, Alberta, to Fernie, BC. This section offers some of the most accessible, fantastic mountain scenery available in Western Canada, following the spine of the northern Rocky Mountains. The Canadian parks with their wide road shoulders provide excellent cycling conditions, but tourist traffic is heavy. Fascinating side trips abound for natural and geological sightseeing, which include aerial trams and hiking onto glaciers. The route is a series of climbs and descents over passes into various river valleys. A spur into Banff is shown.
	$16.75	62-2230-GP2	Fernie, BC to Missoula, MT. This section begins in Canada, on the west side of the Continental Divide, crosses onto the prairies on the eastern side, then returns to the west over Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. Towns like Fernie offer information and ample opportunities for the off-road cycling enthusiast, and whitewater rafting trips add to the choices of what one can do besides cycling. Glacier National Park experiences very heavy tourist traffic during the summer, and you must plan your ride over Logan Pass to accomodate "bicycles prohibited" times during parts of the day from mid-June to Labor Day. With the exception of the two climbs and descents over the Continental Divide, the route follows river valleys and has rolling terrain. An alternate is offered which keeps the cyclist on the western side of the Divide.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA04	Missoula, MT, to West Yellowstone, MT (same map as Trans America #4).
	$16.75	62-2230-TA05	West Yellowstone to Rawlins (same map as Trans America #5).
	$16.75	62-2230-TA06	Rawlins, WY, to Pueblo, CO (same as Trans America #6).
	$16.75	62-2230-GPS1	Steamboat Springs, CO, to Poncha Springs, CO. Section 1 of the Great Parks South Route begins in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This section is characterized by following river valleys and climbing over mountain passes at high altitudes. It is a strenuous route. One highlight is heading into and out of Rocky Mountain National Park. Trail Ridge Road's winding course takes you 12,183 feet above sea level through high alpine tundra ecosystem. You'll go through old mining towns and tourist towns and also cross Hoosiey Pass at 11,542 feet.
	$16.75	62-2230-GPS2	Poncha Springs, CO, to Durango, CO. Section 2 of the Great Parks South Route beings in Poncha Springs, Colorado. You may see other cyclists along portions of this route in the state. Between Poncha Springs and Dolores the same roads are used on the Western Express Route. The route crosses a pass almost every day with several being over 9,000 feet. Many of the passes along this section have climbing lanes for slower-moving traffic. The route skirts Mesa Verde National Park and a spur is shown going into the Park. This World Class Park is well worth a visit. Durango, Colorado, is the endpoint on this route.
	$16.75	62-2230-GCC	Grand Canyon Connector. A beautiful side trip from Zion NP to the Grand Canyon NP.

Great Rivers South Route. Adventure Cycling Association. 1,340 miles - Explore the Mississippi on a route that would make Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn proud. Along the way visit the jumping-off spot of the Mormons' long trek west, and enjoy some great cycling in the Ozarks, and along the Natchez Trace.

	$45.22	62-2230-GRS	Muscatine, IA, to St. Francisville, LA. Set of 3 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-GRS1	Muscatine, IA, to Cape Girardeau, MO. The northern segment of the Great Rivers Bicycle Route from Muscatine, Iowa, south to Hannibal, Missouri, closely follows the flood plain of the Mississippi River. These riverside roads in Illinois are rural farm-to-market roads, connecting small farming communities along the river and providing access to shipping terminals for local farm products. They are narrow blacktop roads with no shoulders and little traffic. The Mississippi bridge crossing into Missouri at Hannibal brings you into Mark Twain territory.
	$16.75	62-2230-GRS2	Cape Girardeau, MO, to Tupelo, MS. At Cape Girardeau the route crosses the Mississippi River. The state highways in Illinois are wide two-lane roads with moderate traffic and no shoulders. Most of the rest of the route is over narrow two-lane county roads with no shoulder and very little traffic. In western Kentucky the route follows very lightly traveled county roads over short steep hills. "The Trace Road" through the Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area is a two-lane road with no shoulders and light to moderate traffic. No commercial vehicles are allowed and a 45 mph speed limit is strictly enforced. In Tennessee, the route travels over exhausting roller coaster hills mostly on well maintained two-lane county and state roads. Near Shady Grove the route joins the Natchez Trace Parkway. The Natchez Trace offers two-lane roads with no shoulders and light traffic. The width of the Trace is 400 to 1000 feet, with wider right-of-way areas of historical, scientific, and recreational value.
	$16.75	62-2230-GRS3	Tupelo, MS, to St. Francisville, LA. The riding conditions on the Natchez Trace Parkway are excellent with cyclists enjoying an almost traffic-free road. The two-lane road is gently graded and is generally well paved. Although there are no shoulders, the road edges merge evenly onto a grass shoulder. No commercial traffic is permitted on the Parkway and a 50 mph speed limit is strictly enforced. At Jackson, where the parkway is not yet completed, you will be riding an urban route to connect to the next parkway segment. The Parkway ends near Natchez, Mississippi, and from there southward the route passes through rural woodland areas of southern Mississippi and Louisiana, where narrow two-lane roads and timberland dominate the scenery. The route ends in Baton Rouge. This route intersects the Southern Tier Bicycle Route just north of the city.

Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route Maps. Adventure Cycling Association. Waterproof and tear-resistant map. The Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route guides riders over and through the breathtaking landscape of central Idaho. From blue ribbon trout streams to sub-alpine terrain and cozy mountain towns, riders will pass through some of the most spectacular country the West has to offer, with the opportunity to indulge in the highest concentration of soakable hot springs in North America.

The route is divided into two maps. The Main Route Map contains routing for the main dirt road loop, the paved Lowman Cutoff, which divides the main dirt road loop in half, and the Boise Spur, which guides riders to and from the Boise Airport. The narratives for all routing on the Main Route Map are bi-directional.

The Singletrack Options Map contains routing for four unique singletrack options. The Singletrack Options Map is a supplement to the Main Route Map, and you will need to purchase both if choosing to incorporate any of the singletrack offerings into your adventure. The four singletrack options are not bi-directional. If you choose to ride them with the main route, you should go in a counter-clockwise direction.

Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail. Adventure Cycling Association. 4,618 miles. Since 1998, Adventure Cycling Association has been compiling a new and ambitious set of bicycling maps following the route of Lewis and Clark. The Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail was born of a desire to offer bicyclists a way to celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of the Corps of Discovery's journey, which began in 1804. The Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail's 4,618 miles cross nine mountain passes, pass through four national parks and monuments, overlook dozens of rivers in addition to the Missouri and the Columbia, and promise you views of bison, elk, deer, antelope and other wildlife. The Trail will be the best possible way to experience the magnificent landscapes witnessed by Lewis and Clark: all of the sense of wonder, all of the adventure, but a lot less inconvenience and hardship. Our main 1804 westward route of Lewis and Clark is 3,254 miles in length, but overall the maps will cover 4,618 miles. The maps have been divided into eight sections covering both the westbound and eastbound routes taken by the Corps. There will be some mountain biking options available. Services are sometimes few and far between, making this one of our most challenging routes.
Route map.

	$120.60	62-2230-LCS	Hanford, IL to Astoria, OR & back. Set of 8 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC1	Hartford, IL to Council Bluffs, IA (555 miles). Section 1 of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail begins near the 1803-04 winter encampment of the Corps of Discovery. In Missouri, 151 miles of this route is on the Katy Trail, a crushed limestone trail built on an abandoned railroad bed next to the river. If this surface is not to your liking, the Jefferson City Option offers a hilly, paved alternate reducing the number of miles on limestone. The route also uses the Steamboat Trace in Nebraska, another crushed limestone trail. The bustle of traffic of metropolitan Kansas City is avoided, but be prepared for hills whenever the route leaves the river valley. This section ends at the Iowa West Trailhead in Council Bluffs, a bicycling-friendly community with a network of cycling paths throughout the city.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC2	Council Bluffs, IA to Pierre, SD (485.5 miles). This section of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail continues to follow the Missouri River and goes through Sioux City, Iowa, before entering South Dakota. Due to dams, the Missouri shifts from a river to a lake, three of them in fact: Lewis and Clark Lake, Lake Francis Case and Lake Sharpe. The terrain becomes more rolling; there will always be a descent/ascent when crossing the river. Two options are available to customize your route. The Whetstone Bay Option is 25.5 miles in length (including 14.5 on hard-packed dirt and gravel) that takes you closer to Missouri/Lake Francis Case. The second option is an alternate way into Pierre, the endpoint of this section.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC3	Pierre, SD to Williston, ND (510.5 miles). Section 3 of the Lewis & Clark Trail begins in the capital city of Pierre, South Dakota. Riding north on SR 1804-Lewis and Clark Trail, you'll pass the Oahe Dam on Lake Oahe, an area with heavy recreational traffic. In Bismarck, North Dakota, (another capital city!) you will have the opportunity to ride a series of bike paths along the river to Pioneer Park or through the city to take advantage of its many services. Bismarck is already gaining the reputation as one of the friendliest cities on the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail. Near Washburn is Fort Mandan, the location where the Corps spent the winter of 1804/1805. After Stanton, the route heads west and south to follow the I-94 corridor, alternating between the freeway and parallel county roads. This is a change from our original routing due to oil and gas development in the Bakken Oil Shale Field of western North Dakota and northeastern Montana. The route was changed in 2012 to avoid the area around Williston, North Dakota, because many roads with minimal to no shoulders now have high levels of truck traffic, and are felt to be unsafe for bicyclists.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC4	Williston, ND to Great Falls, MT (538.5 miles). The fourth section of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail begins in Dickinson, North Dakota. The route follows the I-94 corridor, alternating between the freeway and parallel county roads. In eastern Montana it stays south of the Missouri River. This part of Fort Peck Lake/Missouri River carries many additional designations: the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River and, most recently, the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. There are very few access roads down to the river on this map section. If you'd like a closer look, check with one of the many guides listed on the map that offer tours. Services are few and far between through eastern Montana; you will want to plan your days accordingly. The terrain continues to be rolling to hilly; by the section's end in Great Falls you'll be able to see the Front Range of the Rockies on the western horizon.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC5	Great Falls, MT to Missoula, MT (479.5 miles). This section is rich with historical locations, an option, an alternate and a spur. You can easily pedal more than the cover value of 476.5 miles if you choose Section 5 of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail. At Three Forks, the Missouri River splits into the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson Rivers, and you will leave the Missouri for the final time. Just south of Dillon, there's a choice to remain on the main westbound route or take the Big Hole Option. The main route over Lehmi Pass includes 24.5 miles of gravel while the Big Hole Option is slightly shorter and is entirely paved. An additional Continental Divide crossing may be made via the 18-mile gravel Gibbon's Pass Alternate. From North Fork, Idaho, on the main route, you have the opportunity to ride along "The River of No Return" on the 18.5-mile Shoup Spur. From North Fork, it is nearly a straight shot north to Lolo, Montana, the site of Travelers' Rest State Park. This is the site where Lewis and Clark stopped in each direction to rest and regroup for the next stages in their journey.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC6	Missoula, MT to Clarkston, WA (242.5 miles), Lolo Trail (145.3 miles), Blackfoot Option (187.5 miles). Section 6 of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail can be broken into two segments based on the corps multidirectional travels. Missoula, Montana, to Clarkston, Washington, is a continuation of Lewis and Clark's 1804 travels westbound. The Blackfoot Option from Missoula, Montana, to Great Falls, Montana, follows the route Captain Lewis used eastbound in 1806. Both segments are described below. Main Route The main route follows the course of the Lochsa and Clearwater rivers and is fairly level after crossing Lolo Pass. The 145.3-mile Lolo Trail closely follows the approximate route the Corps of Discovery took through the Bitterroot Mountains. The rugged, mountainous terrain is on mostly one-lane, narrow, gravel/dirt roads. Services and water are scarce. Once you arrive in Kamiah, there are two options to Clarkston. The 68-mile River Option is more true to history but there are concerns on U.S. Highway 12 due to traffic volumes and nonexistent shoulders with concrete barriers. From the main route, you still get to make a choice on your way into Clarkston: either the seven-mile Lapwai Option on U.S. Highway 9522.5 mile Hell's Gate Option on smaller roads through Hell's Gate State Park. Blackfoot Option This option traces Captain Lewis's 1806 eastbound journey. It is mostly on two-lane highways that follow the Blackfoot and Sun Rivers all the way to Great Falls. The Alice Creek Spur is 13 miles in length and you can ride/hike to the top of Lewis & Clark Pass.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC7	Clarkston, WA to Astoria, OR (442.5 miles). Section 7 of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail begins in Clarkston and heads overland to the Pacific Ocean. When the route meets the Columbia River, winds can become fierce, blowing predominately from the west particularily in the area known as the Gorge. This map section, like others on this route, has options. You can ride along the Gorge in either Oregon or Washington. From Astoria, the 20-mile Cape Disappointment Spur crosses the Columbia into Washington and heads west to Fort Canby State Park.
	$16.75	62-2230-LC8	Three Forks, MT to Williston, ND (506 miles). Section 8 of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail traces the eastbound path Captain Clark explored along the Yellowstone River in 1806. Services are limited in eastern Montana. Much of this map section is either on I-90 or its frontage roads. From Three Forks eastward you'll cross several Gallatin River tributaries which flow into the Missouri River. The terrain on this section is rolling; you'll have great views of the Yellowstone River and Big Sky country. Three Forks, MT, to Willison ND (514 mi.)

	$60.30	62-2230-NL	Osceola, WI, to Monroeville, IN. Set of 4 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-NL1	Osceola, WI, to Escanaba, MI. 382 miles. Beginning in Osceola, Wisconsin, along the St. Croix River, the route is mostly flat as it makes a gradual transition from dairy farms to northern lakes as well as pine and birch forests. The county roads through the northern Wisconsin lakes are narrow, hilly and rough in some places, but traffic is very light, the air is fresh and clear and the scenery is bucolic. This map section includes a spur into the metropolis of Minneapolis/St. Paul.
	$16.75	62-2230-NL2	Escanaba, MI, to Mackinaw City, MI (and Manitowoc alternate route). 151 miles. From Escanaba to St. Ignace the route stays mostly on US 2. This highway is very busy with both recreational and commercial traffic, but generally has wide paved shoulders. In general, when US 2 is directly on Lake Michigan shore or well inland it is flat, but in between there are numerous climbs over coastal bluffs which provide spectacular views of the lake. The Mackinac Bridge between St. Ignace and Mackinaw City, which connects Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, is part of I-75, and bicycles are prohibited. Adventure Cycling recommends riding the ferry to Mackinac Island to cross the Straits of Mackinac. No motorized vehicles are permitted on the island, which is 80% state park, and 20% privately owned. The Manitowoc Alternate can be used as a shortcut between central Wisconsin and the lower Michigan peninsula. It shortens the route by 215 miles by using a ferry across Lake Michigan.
	$16.75	62-2230-NL3	Mackinaw City, MI, to Monroeville, IN. 569 miles. From Mackinaw City, Michigan to Cross Village, the route primarily follows two-lane county roads through farms. The Tunnel of Trees Scenic Route from Cross Village to Harbor Springs is a narrow road, mostly without a centerline, but traffic is light and slow moving. From just south of Acme through Traverse City and on to Suttons Bay is the TART Trail, an off-road path that leads through the State Park and downtown Traverse City. From Suttons Bay, the route crosses the Leelanau Peninsula to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Then you’ll follow rural roads and state highways through small vacation towns south along the Lake Michigan shore. You’ll finish this section on the Nickel Plate Trail to Denver, Indiana.
	$16.75	62-2230-NL4	Lake Erie Connector. Luther, MI to Fort Erie, ON. The Lake Erie Connector is intended primarily as a shortcut that saves 244 miles between the North Lakes Route near Wolf Lake, Michigan, and the Northern Tier Route at Fort Erie, Ontario. It also connects to the Northern Tier Route across the western end of Lake Erie at Sandusky, Ohio, and enables a variety of loop rides in the lower Great Lakes region.

Northern Tier Route Series. Adventure Cycling Association. 4,315 miles -- From the Puget Sound to fishing villages in Maine, the Northern Tier crosses three mountain ranges - the Cascades, Rockies and Adirondacks. Along the way the route passes through Glacier National Park, the headwaters of the Mississippi and Amish country. Discover the beauty of America by crossing the country on the Northern Tier.
Route map.

	$165.82	62-2230-NT	Anacortes, WA, to Bar Harbor, ME. Set of 11 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT01	Anacortes, WA, to Sandpoint, ID. Because of heavy snow, the North Cascades National Park is only open to through traffic on SR 20 between late April and late November. The Anacortes area is hilly, the roads are curvy, and there is a moderate amount of residential traffic. The 4-lane highway that heads east to the mainland is very busy. After crossing the Skagit River flats, the route starts a long, gradual climb to the Pacific crest of the Cascades. In most places either the roads are widetraffic is light. After Washington Pass, the route climbs and descends a pass almost daily until reaching eastern Washington. Once in Idaho the terrain flattens as you wind your way along the Pend Orielle River into Sandpoint.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT02	Sandpoint, ID, to Cut Bank, MT. SR 200 east of Sandpoint carries both recreational and commercial traffic so ride it cautiously. In Montana, the route uses either state or U.S. highways to Eureka. Most of the logging is done in this corner of the state; the scenery is beautiful but expect to encounter logging trucks. Traffic along Lake Koocanusca in minimal. U.S. 93, which the route uses from Eureka to Whitefish, can have moderate to heavy traffic since it's a main thoroughfare into Canada. The route northeast of Columbia Falls includes a few miles of gravel, but avoids some of the hectic tourist traffic on U.S. 2 near Glacier National Park. Glacier Park traffic is heavy during the summer. Ride early in the day and avoid weekend travel. Going-to-the-Sun Road between West Glacier and St. Mary is closed to all traffic from about Sept. 30 to June 15. On the east side of the Continental Divide the route heads into Canada and a spur goes to Waterton Lakes National Park. Once out on the plains the route returns to the U.S. and ends in Cut Bank. For those with time constraints, a shorter alternate is shown between West Glacier and Cut Bank using U.S. 2 over Marias Pass.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT03	Cut Bank, MT, to Minot, ND. With only a few exceptions, through central and eastern Montana you will be riding on long, straight sections of U.S. 2 following the route of Burlington Northern railroad built in the 1800's. Traffic is light to moderate. Leaving the "Hi-Line" near Wolf Point, MT, the route heads southeast crossing the Yellowstone River at Glendive, MT, where you'll follow the I-94 corridor to Dickinson, ND. Portions of this route are contiguous with the Lewis & Clark Trail.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT04	Minot, ND, to Fargo, ND. From Dickinson to Fargo, the route follows a portion of I-94, county roads and state highways. The highways east of Bismarck carry very little traffic. Long, straight stretches are the norm. In broad terms, the terrain is a vast, open plain that slopes downward from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River. Local relief is very gentle, with the exception of a few hills across river breaks.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT05	Fargo, ND, to Grand Rapids, MN. Almost without exception, this route follows quiet, rural roads. One exception is when it passes through Itasca State Park, the headwaters of the Mississippi River. During the summer it gets heavy use from recreational vehicles. The 193-mile Trails Alternate to Bowlus (where it connects to the main route on section #6), is 98.5 miles shorter, but has many of the same characteristics as the main route. It includes 107 miles of converted rail-trails.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT06	Grand Rapids, MN, to Stillwater, MN. On this section of the route, you will be riding on paved state trails and two-lane roads with varying shoulder widths. The country is open with rolling wetlands of dense trees and shrubs along the lake shores. At Dalbo, the route turns east and traverses slightly rolling countryside through farmland to Osceola, Wisconsin. There is a steep climb into Osceola from the St. Croix River valley. In Wisconsin, riding near the river means hillier country along the bluffs. There is a steep descent to the St. Croix River, and a steep ascent after the bridge into Stillwater, Minnesota. This map section includes a spur into the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT07	Stillwater, MN, to Muscatine, IA. In general, you'll encounter either hills or long rolling grades along this section, with the exception of flat terrain north of Muscatine, Iowa. The route avoids most of the heavily trafficked areas along the Mississippi, although there are a few stretches that demand caution. Traffic increases wherever the route crosses the river. From Stillwater south to Afton you'll be riding through a growing residential area on narrow county roads. Traffic can be heavy on U.S. 61 between Wabasha and the junction with CR 7. In Winona you can ride an alternate called the Great Rivers State Trail which stays on the east bank of the Mississippi. Old railroad beds travel through Perrot State Park and the Trempealeau and Upper Mississipi River Wildlife and Fish Refuges. South from Dyersville, Iowa, you stay on highway and county roads, Traffic increases around Muscatine, an old industrial town.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT08	Muscatine, IA, to Monroeville, IN. Grades in the Lowlands, where this section is located, are minimal, if not nonexistent. The elevation rises less than 500 feet between Iowa and Ohio. One of the few places where hills are noticable is in east-central Indiana, around the Salamonie River and Mt. Hope Recreation Areas. By and large, you'll have great visibility ahead and behind. The tall corn, however, can screen everything to the sides. Listen for vehicles approaching from the fields; some farmers don't stop when they drive onto the roads. The corn can also hide street signs when it gets high. The most notable feature of the route is the constantly changing quality of the roads. The county roads, however, have one saving grace- they are virtually unused. Even local traffic stays on the better-maintained state highways. Traffic does increase during harvest, when all those soybeans have to get to market. Roads around the Tippecanoe River and Salamonie River Recreation Areas in Indiana get busier when the weather gets warmer, especially on weekends.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT09	Monroeville, IN, to Lackawanna, NY. You will encounter a big change in this section because the route traverses the city of Cleveland and its suburbs, so cyclists should have some familiarity with urban riding. Once you reach Lake Erie the route passes through many interesting cultural, historic, and scenic features, and you are encouraged to research the route beforehand to maximize your enjoyment. The route in Ohio generally uses either secondary highways or county roads with the exception of Cleveland and its suburbs where you'll use city streets or bikepaths. East of Cleveland, you'll ride along Lake Erie for quite a distance until reaching Orchard Park, New York.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT10	Lackawanna, NY, to Ticonderoga, NY. From Orchard Park northward into Buffalo you will experience urban riding conditions so ride defensivly. A nicely paved but poorly signed bike path extends from the Buffalo Naval Park to the Peace Bridge, which takes you into Canada. The Peace Bridge is an easy crossing, and the route continues on a bike path along the Niagara River. You'll pass Niagara Falls, then cross back into the U.S. At Lockport, the route follows 90 miles of the Erie Canalway Trail before heading toward Lake Ontario. The route then heads east into the Adirondack Mountains. The terrain is hilly and passes many lakes and tourist spots. The endpoint is Ticonderoga which is located right on the Hudson River.
	$16.75	62-2230-NT11	Ticonderoga, NY, to Bar Harbor, ME. This section passes through three states, each with somewhat different riding conditions, but the roads generally are fair. Vermont and New Hampshire are "mountainous" by eastern standards. General elevation ranges from about 500 to 2,000 feet. Vermont highways are, with a few exceptions, well-signed. East of Middlebury, Vermont, you have to pedal over a steep "gap" or mountain pass. After you reach the White Mountains and enter Maine, the elevation is generally less than 500 feet but the terrain is still quite hilly. Near the coast the route follows narrow back roads. However, in places you ride U.S. 1 which carries very heavy recreational traffic. Mount Desert Island roads also have a high amount of tourist traffic as you near Bar Harbor during the summer and fall color season.

	$75.37	62-2230-PC	Pacific Coast Route. 5 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-PC1	Vancouver, B.C., to Astoria, OR. Vancouver is a relatively easy city in which to bicycle. Then after crossing the border into Washington, you'll be riding on narrow two-lane roads on level terrain. There are no shoulders, and traffic is light. Bellingham is a larger town with moderate traffic and some congested intersections. SR-20 south of Anacortes and Whidbey Island has some rolling to hilly terrain. There are several narrow two-lane sections and congested areas near the island's towns; traffic is generally light away from SR 20. South of Port Townsend the route is rolling to hilly on mostly low-traffic rural roads through farms and forests. From Castle Rock in southern Washington you'll face some steep climbs across low hills to Ocean Beach Rd. along the Columbia River. In Oregon, you'll ride west on US 30, which carries moderate traffic and has wide shoulders most of the way into Astoria, the beginning and end points for the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail and the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail.
	$16.75	62-2230-PC2	Astoria, OR, to Crescent City, CA. Along the Oregon Coast, the route often uses US 101, a two-lane highway popular with tourists. During the summer months and on holidays and weekends this highway carries moderate to heavy traffic. This is also timber country, so watch for logging trucks. Many improvements for bicycle traffic have been made along US 101. In places the shoulders have been widened and striped. Tunnels are well-lit, and the tunnel at Arch Cape has a flashing light that you can activate to warn motorists that you are in the tunnel. Also watch for special hiker/biker sites in the state park campgrounds. Where the route leaves US 101, the roads are generally rougher and without shoulders, but traffic tends to be light. There are some steep ascents over coastal headlands, notable between Cannon Beach and Manzanita. Traffic is heavier near and in Lincoln City, and thins again on the gentle grades around Newport and Waldport. Many of the coastal towns cater to tourists, and you'll find the views along the coast breathtaking. West of Sixes is Cape Blanco State Park, which calls itself the "most westerly Park in the continental U.S." Once you enter California, the route leaves US 101 and takes rural side roads along the level coastal plain into Crescent City.
	$16.75	62-2230-PC3	Crescent City, CA, to San Francisco, CA. Because the heavy motorized traffic tends to be even heavier in the summer, we recommend that you ride this route in the spring or autumn. If riding in summer is your only option, be advised that motorized traffic often increases after 10:00 a.m. You'll encounter climbs several miles in length as the route crosses two major headlands between Crescent City and McKinleyville. This is redwood country, so take some extra time to enjoy the scenery in the state and national parks along the route. At Leggett you'll leave US 101 and return to the coast via SR 1, but not before climbing abruptly to 2,000 feet above sea level. From either direction this roads is a steep, twisting climb and descent on a narrow roadway that is hemmed in by heavy forest cover. From Westport to Bodega Bay SR 1 hugs the coastline, passing through small towns that cater to tourists. In Marin County, the traffic increases on the route from Valley Ford to Marshall, especially on weekends after 11 a.m. Between Fairfax and the Golden Gate Bridge you'll be riding in an urban environment. The route follows a signed bike route along residential streets and bike paths wherever possible.
	$16.75	62-2230-PC4	San Francisco, CA, to Santa Barbara, CA. Because the heavy motorized traffic tends to be even heavier in the summer, we reccommend that you ride this route in the spring or autumn. May and September/October are the best months for riding. From the Golden Gate Bridge, the route heads directly to the coast via city streets. After rejoining SR 1, you'll encounter heavy traffic but here SR 1 has shoulders in most places. From Carmel Heights to San Simeon there are few services. This is a beautiful but demanding road with minimal shoulders traversing open grasslands and timbered slopes above the ocean. State and national campgrounds provide sites overlooking the beach. They are quiet in the off season but extremely busy in the summer. You'll encounter five major climbs along the border of the Los Padres National Forest; one of these takes you to almost 1,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. The route flattens south of Harmony. From Morro Bay to Pismo Beach you'll leave SR 1 for local, county, and state roads with intermittent shoulders. At Oceano you'll head inland, then join US 101 and ride back to the coast. West of Goleta you'll leave US 101 and travel along business arterials to enter Santa Barbara.
	$16.75	62-2230-PC5	Santa Barbara, CA, to Imperial Beach, CA. Because the heavy traffic tends to be even heavier in summer, we recommend that you ride this toute in the spring or autumn. May and September-October are the best months for riding. Note that during summer, strong winds prevail from north to south. In Santa Barbara and the towns surrounding it, prepare for urban riding conditions. US 101 between Santa Barbara and Ventura is closed to bicyclists, so you'll ride on city streets and county roads. The route stays close to sea level here. Traffic levels build near Ventura and Oxnard, then taper off until Los Angeles County. You'll ride on a bike path through Emma Wood State Beach north of Ventura, and join SR 1 southeast of Port Hueneme. South of the Ventura/Los Angeles County line you'll ride through Malibu on a four-and six lane freeway with wide shoulders. Traffic is heavier on weekends and during the summer. Through Los Angeles you'll be using beachside bicycle and pedestrian paths. You'll follow city streets through Palos Verdes Estates and Long Beach, then rejoin the busy Pacific Coast Highway, which has shoulders. You'll encounter busy local traffic on CR S21 in San Diego County; the road shoulders are continuous. South of La Jolla, you'll pedal along residential streets and bicycle/pedestrian paths through San Diego. A ferry takes you to Coronado and a path along Silver Strand Beach. The route ends at the Border Field State Park south of Imperial Beach, where the U.S.A and Mexico share the border at the Pacific Ocean.

Pittsburgh Connector Trail Map. Adventure Cycling Association. This 152.5-mile spur connects Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route and the Northern Tier Route at Erie, Pennsylvania. The route begins at the Senator John Heinz History Center and quickly crosses the Allegheny River to the 3.5 mile North Shore Trail. Across the water, cyclists have a view of Point State Park, the tip of Pittsburgh's "Golden Triangle" where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join. Cyclists continue along the North Shore trail which borders the shores of the Ohio River and takes them through the most urban section of the route. Underground Railroad sites, historic markers and museums dot the route with the highest concentrations in Pittsburgh and Mercer. Rolling hills make up the terrain in western Pennsylvania but most of the route is on fairly low-level traffic rural roads and highways.

Route 66 Cycling Maps. Adventure Cycling Association, 2015.
The Route 66 cycling map set covers from Chicago's Grant Park to the Santa Monica Pier at the Pacific Ocean. The route covers 2,485 miles of ever-changing terrain, ranging from desolate desert to urban cycling lanes; from the Great Plains to mountain passes to the Pacific Ocean.

While the Bicycle Route 66 tries to follow the historic Route 66 the entire way, current-day conditions require deviations, as part of the historic route no longer exists. The maps in this six-piece collection are waterproof and designed to fit in a handlebar-bag window or jersey pocket. The maps provide information specifically for cyclists: the location of bike shops, sources for food and water, and listings of overnight accommodations including camping facilities, small hotels, and cyclists-only lodging.

	$90.45	62-2230-RO	Route 66 map set. 6 sheets. Chicago to Santa Monica, California. 2,485 miles.
	$16.75	62-2230-RO1	Route 66 sheet 1: Chicago to St. Louis. 329 miles. The route begins at Grant Park in downtown Chicago along Lake Michigan. You’ll be riding trails and city streets to make your way through the city and its suburbs. Due to high traffic levels and safety concerns, the route does not follow historic Route 66 leaving the city. The riding through Illinois is over flat to rolling terrain that originally supported the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Central Illinois is characterized by small towns and mid-sized cities. The route crosses the Mississippi River into Missouri via the picturesque Chain of Rocks bridge which is closed to motorized traffic. The Riverfront Trail goes along the Mississippi River through an industrial area to reach downtown St. Louis, the Gateway Arch, and the end of section one.
	$16.75	62-2230-RO2	Route 66 sheet 2: St. Louis to Joplin, Missouri. 327 miles. This map section begins in St. Louis, the largest city on Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles. Missouri is hilly. Between St. Louis and Springfield, cyclists will encounter some bigger hills as you are riding through the northern reaches of the Ozark Mountains. The route parallels I-44 following frontage roads and flipping back and forth from either side of the interstate. Local traffic uses these roads while the majority of the through traffic will be on I-44.
	$16.75	62-2230-RO3	Route 66 sheet 3: Joplin to Adrian, Texas. 567 miles. You’ll encounter both flat terrain and rolling hills on this section. Oklahoma tends to slope gradually upward from its eastern to western boundaries. Woodlands and transitional prairie grasslands, composed of shortgrass, mixed-grass, and tallgrass prairie cover the central portion of the state. In the upper portion of Texas, referred to as the Panhandle, the Great Plains become a reality in the flat, wide open expanse of country you’ll be riding through. The route parallels I-44 between the Kansas border and Oklahoma City, then uses multiple frontage roads along I-40 between Oklahoma City and Adrian, Texas. The 12.9 miles of the route in Kansas retains much of the character of the Mother Road. West of Amarillo the route is all on roads that parallel the interstate.
	$16.75	62-2230-RO4	Route 66 sheet 4: Adrian to Gallup, New Mexico. 500 miles. Many miles of the route parallels interstates. When the interstate system was built, U.S. 66 became I-55, I-44 and I-40 so you’ll ride on interstate shoulders and multiple frontage roads. Wide open space is the theme across west Texas and New Mexico with semiarid landscapes and generally long distances between services. Elevation will increase at Clines Corners and again east of Tijeras passing between the Manzano and Sandia Mountains. The route into Santa Fe roughly follows a pre-1937 alignment of Route 66. It is longer but has less interstate riding, fantastic views, and a more authentic Route 66 feel. Plan on traffic and the elevation increase again through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains into Santa Fe. The ride along the Turquoise Trail road between Santa Fe and Tijeras provides beautiful open vistas. West of Albuquerque the route goes through portions of Laguna and Acoma Pueblos.
	$16.75	62-2230-RO5	Route 66 sheet 5: Gallup to Oatman, Arizona. 404 miles. Between Gallup, New Mexico and Oatman, Arizona the country is open and semiarid; there are generally long distances between services here. Between Gallup and Chambers the route crosses the Navajo Nation and is subject to the rules and regulations of both the U.S. and the Nation. The Petrified Forest National Park offers a welcome diversion from riding the shoulder of I-40. The elevation and traffic increase between Winona and Flagstaff. Beyond there is gradual climbing across the basin for approximately 15 miles. It is followed by 9 miles of steep, narrow ascents around switchbacks to the expansive Sitgreaves Pass before winding downhill into Oatman. In Oatman you can enjoy a trip back to the Old West but don’t feed the wild burros — they‘ve been known to follow and harass bicyclists.
	$16.75	62-2230-RO6	Route 66 sheet 6: Oatman to Santa Monica, Salifornia. 360 miles. Between Oatman, Arizona, and Los Angeles this map section contains some of the most isolated stretches and some of the busiest urban stretches of Bicycle Route 66. Plan to carry extra provisions through the Mojave Desert between Needles and Barstow. There are two summits to cross — Cady Summit and Cajon Summit. Expect urban riding conditions from San Bernardino to Santa Monica. The route ends at the Santa Monica pier on the Pacific Ocean.

	$75.37	62-2230-SC	Sierra-Cascades Route; Sumas, WA to Tecate, CA. Set of 5 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-SC1	Sumas, WA to Mt. Rainier NP, WA (447.0 mi.). This section begins at the Canadian/U.S. border in Sumas, Washington. It shares routing with our Northern Tier and Washington Parks routes to Yakima, Washington where it strays a bit further south before passing the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. A spur is shown into the Park. An optional spur into Bellingham is also included for transportation services.
	$16.75	62-2230-SC2	Mt. Rainier NP, WA to Crater Lake NP, OR (445.9 mi.). Section 2 begins at Mt. Rainier National Park and runs south to the wind surfing country of the Columbia Gorge and Hood River, Oregon. From there it skirts the Three Sisters Mountains near Bend, Oregon and ends in Crater Lake National Park. This section intersects the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail in Hood River and the TransAmerica Trail in Sisters, Oregon.
	$16.75	62-2230-SC3	Crater Lake NP, OR to Truckee, CA (455.6 mi.). After leaving the spectacular scenery of Crater Lake, the route continues south to Ashland, Oregon, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Then it's across the border into California toward towering Mt. Shasta in the distance. You'll bike through the remains of a volcanic history in Lassen National Park and end near the Nevada state line in Truckee. Reno, Nevada is located about 30 miles northeast and is a good connection point if you want to start the route at midpoint.
	$16.75	62-2230-SC4	Truckee, CA to Lake Isabella, CA (554.3 mi.). There are technically three national parks on this section, Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Yosemite but the first two are administered together. When riding this section you may want to build in some extra days to explore activities off the bike like climbing in Yosemite and hiking the Trail of a Hundred Giants in the Giant Sequoia National Monument. This section intersects the Western Express Bicycle Route in Woodfords, California.
	$16.75	62-2230-SC5	Lake Isabella, CA to Tecate, CA (486.2 mi.). Lakes, mountains, deserts and valleys, this section has them all! Highlights include the Mohave Desert, San Gabriel Mountains, San Gorgonio Mountains and the rustic small town of Idyllwild against the background of the San Jacinto Mountains. There are also plenty of scenic byways along the way beginning with the Angeles Crest, then the Rim of the World and finally the Sunrise Scenic Byway. The route ends at Tecate at the Mexican border. This section intersects with the Southern Tier Bicycle Route in Pine Valley, California.

Route map.

	$120.60	62-2230-ST	Southern Tier; San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL. 8 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST1	San Diego, CA, to Tempe, AZ. From San Diego you'll ride on bike paths and residential streets on a steady climb into the mountains. Dry easterly winds predominate in the fall, blowing in from the central desert. At In-Ko-Pah Pass the route joins I-8 for a short distance. El Centro and Brawley are situated in the Imperial Valley, an area famous for its agricultural bounties. Stock up on food and water here; services are extremely limited on the next stretch of the route. SR 78 heading to Blythe carries a moderate amount of traffic. To the north you will see the Chocolate Mountains, named for their distinctive deep brown color. The terrain from Ehrenberg, Arizona, to the section's end at Tempe remains flat, with the exception of a few gentle grades. After leaving I-10, the route follows US 60, which has good shoulders. At Wickenburg the route turns south and approaches the metropolitan area surrounding Phoenix.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST2	Tempe, AZ, to El Paso, TX. Expect moderate to heavy urban traffic from Tempe to Apache Junction. At Apache Junction you'll join US 60/79, with shoulders and rumble strips, and gradually ascend toward Gonzales Pass. The route dips and climbs up to another pass before descending along Bloody Tank Wash into the towns of Miani and Claypool. In Stafford replenish your stock of food and water. Services are limited for the next 117 miles. It's a hard climb up to the unsigned pass near the Arizona/New Mexico border. The route again crosses the Gila River and climbs the historic Pinos Altos then descends through thick pine forests before reaching the Gila River drainage. SR 152 is winding and steep on both sides of Emory Pass. This is the highest point on the route. In the next 35 miles you'll drop 3,800 feet to Caballo Reservoir and the Rio Grande River in dry, desert country. From here to El Paso the route parallels the Rio Grande and I-25. SR 28 winds through small towns, farm fields, and pecan groves into El Paso. This section has a shorter alternate, avoiding the climbs and descents into the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST3	El Paso, TX, to Del Rio, TX. El Paso and its environs are hot and desert-like. Road surfaces are often rough and traffic is heavy; avoid riding during rush hours. The land is flat and dry as you parallel the course of the Rio Grande, which snakes one to six miles away from the route to the south. I-10 parallels the route to the north and carries much of the high speed traffic, leaving primarily local traffic on SR 20, a two-lane road with good riding surfaces. You'll use frontage roads and do some riding on I-10 through flat, desert country to Kent. South of Kent, the country is desolate with a rollercoaster climb into the Davis Mountains. A steep climb up to the McDonald Observatory will reward you with a spectacular view of the surrounding area. Services are extremely limited between Marathon and Comstock. At Langry the visitor center is a welcome diversion and a source for drinking water. The route is gently rolling from Comstock to Del Rio.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST4	Del Rio, TX, to Navasota, TX. Leaving Del Rio, the route typically follows two-lane highways with good surfaces and wide shoulders. Farm Rd. 344 east of Brackettville becomes narrower as it climbs away from the Rio Grande River valley. You'll be traversing the famous Texas Hill Country so expect some hard riding among forested hillsides. SR 27 is the main road through Kerrville, so avoid riding during rush hours. You'll parallel the Guadalupe River on narrow, rolling roads east of Kerrville. From Lockhart to Bastrop you'll ride through Bastrop State Park and Buescher State Park and you'll continue along the rolling countryside dotted with small towns and ranches. Traffic will increase on the approach into Navasota. A spur into Austin is shown.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST5	Navasota, TX, to St. Francisville, LA. From Navasota eastward the route continues through farming and ranching country on the state highways and rural roads. Near the Texas/Louisiana border you'll pass through verdant "Big Thicket" country. The culture changes as the route heads into Louisiana. Mamou is known for its Cajun music and make sure you sample some of that famous Cajun food. The route continues to follow mostly low traffic rural roads on flat terrain into New Roads. A spur into Baton Rouge is shown.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST6	St. Francisville, LA, - DeFuniak Springs, FL. The route meanders through eastern Louisiana on county and state highways which are, for the most part, two-lane roads. After Tangipahoa, the countryside becomes hilly. Traffic picks up as the route enters Bogalusa. The Mississippi portion of this route is very rural and hilly. In Alabama, traffic gets busier as you near Mobile Bay. Traffic increases tremendously as the route enters and goes through Pensacola. The route uses occasional rural roads and a state highway which parallels I-10 into Defuniak Springs. If the Mobile Bay Ferry is temporarily shut down, a route around the Bay through Mobile is an option.
	$16.75	62-2230-ST7	DeFuniak Springs, FL, to St. Augustine, FL. Heading eastward across the Florida panhandle, you'll follow either US 90 or county two-lane roads. Stretches of the route between DeFuniak Springs and Tallahassee are like parks with groomed grass shoulders lined with pine forests. Tallahassee is an easy city to bicycle through, but it is urban cycling. The St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail goes from Tallahassee to the port of St. Marks, and we use a 4.6 mile portion of it. The route comes to within 8 miles of Gainesville. In Palatka, traffic is heavy on US 17 crossing the St. Johns River. Six miles west of St. Augustine traffic picks up steadily until the route ends at the intersection with US 1. St. Augustine is also a point along the Altantic Coast Route.

TransAmerica Bicycle Trail. Adventure Cycling Association. 4,245 miles - The route that made cross-country cycling famous (Outside Magazine calls the TransAmerica the "ultimate bicycle tour"). Ride through the history of the nation - Colonial Virginia, plantations, Civil War battlefields, Lincoln's birthplace, and the Oregon Trail.
Route map.

	$180.90	62-2230-TA	TransAmerica Route; Astoria, OR to Yorktown, VA. Set of 12 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA01	Astoria, OR, to Eugene, OR. 234 miles. Section 1 of the TransAm takes you down the Pacific coast from Astoria, founded by two expeditions outfitted and funded by John Jacob Astor and named in his honor, through the Tillamook Valley, known worldwide for its cheese. The route then heads inland near the city of Eugene, home of the University of Oregon. A spur is shown between Florence and Eugene, for those wanting quicker access to the Pacific Ocean. Astoria and Florence are both along the Pacific Coast Route.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA02	Eugene, OR, to Baker City, OR. 333 miles. Section 2 of the TransAm takes you over 5,324-foot elevation McKenzie Pass in the Cascades and through the gold country of central Oregon. If McKenzie Pass is closed due to lingering snow, an alternate is shown over the lower Santiam Pass. The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is located near the route.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA03	Baker City, OR, to Missoula, MT. 419 miles. Just east of Baker City, Oregon, Section 3 of the TransAm crosses the famous Oregon Trail, the route of the westward pioneers in the 1800s. Eastern Oregon is dry and can generate high summer temperatures so carrying extra water is important. The route crosses the Snake River into Idaho and follows several major rivers, including the Salmon and the Clearwater. You'll climb and descend from one drainage to the next. The White Bird Battlefield of the Nez Perce National Historic Park is along the route. There is a beautiful ride along the scenic Lochsa River before climbing Lolo Pass into Montana. The route crosses paths with the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail here.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA04	Missoula, MT, to West Yellowstone, MT. 329 miles. From Missoula the TransAm Trail turns southward, following the footsteps of Lewis and Clark through the Bitterroot Valley. It then crosses a succession of passes, one over the Continental Divide, to Dillon, the heart of Montana's sheep country. The Big Hole Battlefield National Monument is along the way. The route continues through the Alder Gulch into Virginia City, site of the state's first great gold strike. Section 4 ends at West Yellowstone, gateway to Yellowstone National Park.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA05	West Yellowstone, MT, to Rawlins, WY. 351 miles. Section 5 of the TransAm route takes you through Yellowstone National Park, the jewel of America's National Park System, and Grand Teton National Park. Look for elk, bison, bears, and wolves as you cycle along the river between West Yellowstone and Madison Junction, and take time to explore the many and varied geyser basins on your way to Old Faithful. On your way out of the park you will cross the Continental Divide twice, and once outside the park, a third time at the spectacular 9,658-foot elevation Togowotee Pass, just east of Grand Teton National Park. A spur is shown to Jackson, Wyoming. From Togwotee summit, the eastern slope of the Rockies falls away before you as you cycle along the Wind River through Dubois and on to Lander. After Lander the route crosses the dry and windy Great Divide Basin and ends in Rawlins.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA06	Rawlins, WY, to Pueblo, CO. 387 miles. Section 6 of the TransAmerica Trail follows a 15-mile section of I-80 between Sinclair and Walcott, and then turns south. The interstate has heavy traffic, but cyclists can ride the wide shoulder. The rolling basin called North Park contains the headwaters of the North Platte River and from this point southward to Canon City, riders traverse high-altitude country. Due to this altitude, some cyclists may experience headaches, insomnia, or shortness of breath, but most have approached this area gradually, riding from lower elevations, thus acclimatizing their bodies. As the trail approaches the Summit County area, traffic increases. At Canon City the countryside gradually shows less and less relief, as the Trail emerges from the Rockies and winds through the Colorado Piedmont.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA07	Pueblo, CO, to Alexander, KS. 289 miles. Section 7 of the TransAm takes you out of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and onto the High Plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. The High Plains, where once millions of bison grazed, is now the agricultural heartland of America. Services are farther apart so you need to plan your days accordingly. The flat terrain of Kansas is made up for by its friendly residents and town swimming pools where it's great to take a break during the heat of the day. The section ends in Alexander.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA08	Alexander, KS, to Girard, KS. 331 miles. No uphills, no downhills, few turns. It must be Kansas. The Santa Fe Trail intersects the TransAmerica Trail at Larned and the Fort Larned National Historic Site is along the route. The section ends in Girard.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA09	Girard, KS, to Murphysboro, IL. 409 miles. Section 9 of the TransAm Trail leaves flat Kansas and takes you into western Missouri's gently rolling terrain. The route gets hillier as you approach the Ozarks Mountain Range. The Ozarks themselves contain many steep grades. Cyclists have likened this part of the trail to one long, self-propelled roller-coaster ride. Humidity increases and the numerous streams and rivers you pass are inviting places for breaks. The route crosses the Mississippi River into Illinois. At Chester you can choose to ride the Mississippi River Levee Alternate or stay on the main route into Murphysboro, where the section ends.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA10	Murphysboro, IL, to Berea, KY. 396 miles. In southern Illinois, section 10 of the TransAm Trail skirts glaciated terrain, then winds through the ridges and valleys of the Little Ozarks. This small mountain range appears as sandstone and limestone bluffs and escarpments. It is unique in the United States because it runs on an east-west axis. Traffic increases in and near towns. The route crosses the Ohio River on a ferry and also joins the Great River South Route for a short distance. Western and Central Kentucky is horse country and you'll pass many farms with grazing thoroughbreds. The map includes an 87-mile loop southward to Mammoth Cave National Park and ends in Berea.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA11	Berea, KY, to Christiansburg, VA. 376 miles. The Appalachians may not be as tall as the Rockies, but they are harder to cross than the big mountains of the West. Cyclists find the gentle inclines of the Rockies are not nearly as tiring as the steep, roller-coaster grades of the Appalachians. Traffic in the backcountry of Appalachia is generally light. Exceptions include popular tourist spots such as Breaks Interstate Park, the Buckhorn Lake area, and the Jefferson National Forest. The route crosses the Appalachian Hiking Trail several times near Damascus, Virginia. Section 11 ends in Christiansburg. Click on enlargement for detail.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA12	Christiansburg, VA, to Yorktown, VA. 368 miles. Section 12 of the TransAm Trail begins in Christiansburg. Most of the roads through the Appalachians of central Virginia are narrow. After the town of Vesuvius, there is a four-mile climb onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. The hills continue along the Parkway. No commercial traffic is allowed and the speed limit of 45 mph is strictly enforced. There are, however, no shoulders and there are a great number of recreational vehicles. After leaving the parkway, the gently rolling hills of the Tidewater are well-suited for cycling. You'll ride along the Colonial National Historical Park between Williamsburg and Yorktown, the TransAm Trail's ending point.

Historic Underground Railroad Bike Route. Adventure Cycling Association. Mobile, AL to Owen Sound, Ontario. 2058 miles. The Underground Railroad Bicycle Route honors the bravery of those that fled bondage and those that provided shelter. This route passes points of interest and historic sites along a 2,100-mile corridor. Beginning in Mobile, Alabama - a busy port for slavery during the pre-civil war era - the route goes north following rivers through Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Waterways, as well as the North Star, were often used by freedom seekers as a guide in their journeys to escape slavery. Upon crossing into Ohio, the route leaves the river to head inland toward Lake Erie and enters Canada at the Peace Bridge near Buffalo, New York. In Ontario, the route circumvents the shores of Lake Ontario and ends at Owen Sound, a town founded by freedom seekers 150 years ago.
Route map.

	$75.37	62-2230-UR	Mobile, AL to Owen Sound, Ontario. Set of 5 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-UR1	Mobile, AL to Fulton, MS. 401.5 miles. The southernmost map of this route begins in Mobile, Alabama, and follows several rivers north to Fulton, Mississippi. In the 1800s Mobile was a key port for ships to unload enslaved Africans. The Tensaw, Alabama, and Tombigbee rivers all flow into Mobile Bay, and were used as guides for freedom seekers to escape northward. Besides the lush green scenery and the many small towns Section 1 passes through, a host of museums, historic parks, and visitor centers bring the region's history alive.
	$16.75	62-2230-UR2	Fulton, MS to Owensburg, KY. 466 miles. Shortly after leaving Fulton, Mississippi, the route joins the Natchez Trace Parkway for 10 miles. After crossing a low divide into Tennessee, the route follows the Tennessee River northward toward its confluence with the Ohio River. This area of western Tennessee and Kentucky is rich in American Indian and Civil War history. The Shiloh National Military Park and the Fort Donelson National Battlefield are points of interest along the way. This also follows The Trace Road through the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, a highway with no commercial traffic. Upon reaching the Ohio River, once known as the dividing line between the slave and free states, the route then heads northeast along the river to end at Owensboro, Kentucky.
	$16.75	62-2230-UR3	Owensburg, KY to Milford, OH. 394 miles. Riding close to the Ohio River in the tri-state Kentucky/Indiana/Ohio region, this section moves through the Borderland. This is a narrow strip of land lining both sides of the river that saw some of the Underground Railroad's most intense activity, and where a concentration of physical evidence remaining from those days still exists. The towns of New Albany, Lancaster and Madison in Indiana, and Augusta, Old Washington, and Maysville in Kentucky all have buildings, churches, homes or sites to visit. Roads are generally narrow and winding with low traffic counts. The route alternates between following the river and heading inland. At Maysville you will cross the river into Ohio, and then ride downstream a few miles to Ripley, which comprises a fifty-five acre National Historic District. There is a 16-mile spur into downtown Cincinnati. The city holds numerous sites relating directly to the struggle for freedom, including the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.
	$16.75	62-2230-UR4	Milford, OH to Erie, PA. 461 miles. From Milford north to Xenia, you will cycle along the Little Miami Scenic Trail. One of the longest paved rail-trails in America, it offers fifty miles of the most enjoyable cycling you will experience on the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route. The route skirts Ohio's capital, Columbus, on the west and north sides, but you should expect higher levels of traffic along this portion of the route. Continuing into and through northeast Ohio, some towns you will visit with important ties to the Underground Railroad include Oberlin, Hudson, and Ashtabula.
	$16.75	62-2230-UR5	Erie, PA to Owen Sound, Ontario. 380 miles. Riding northeast from the city of Erie you will enjoy a long stretch of waterside along Lake Erie, the southern-most of the five Great Lakes. Then, after turning back inland south of Buffalo, you will ride through Orchard Park, home of the Pedaling History Bicycle Museum and one of the largest collections of antique and classic American bicycles to be found. There is a great deal of history to be explored in the Buffalo/Niagara area, ranging from American Revolution times to the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. After crossing into Canada, from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake, the route mainly uses the Niagara River Recreation Trail and short portions of the Niagara Parkway along the scenic Niagara River. Throughout Ontario the route traverses the Niagara Escarpment, so expect climbs and descents.

Underground Railroad Detroit Alternative Route. Adventure Cycling Association.
Sheet 6A. This alternate, beginning in Oberlin, Ohio, takes cyclists around the western side of Lake Erie through historically rich Michigan. There are many sites to visit in the towns that the route goes through. In Michigan the route becomes much more urban. Because there is no bicycle-friendly connection between Detroit and Windsor the route crosses into Canada north of these cities, which were both important sites to freedom seekers.
Sheet 6B. From Sombra, Ontario, the route heads north through rural countryside, visiting several Underground Railroad sites before reaching Owen Sound, the terminus of the main route, located on the southern side of Lake Huron's Georgian Bay. The Windsor Option, also in this section, can become a loop on its own connecting to section 1. From Sandusky,Ohio, you can cross Lake Erie via ferry. The route then goes northwest along the shore to Windsor, where many freedom seekers settled after their escape to Canada. It continues to the northeast where it reconnects to the Alternate at Sombra, Ontario.

	$16.75	62-2230-UR6A	Oberlin, Ohio to Sombra, Ontario.
	$16.75	62-2230-UR6B	Sombra, Ontario to Owen Sound, Ontario.

Utah Cliffs Loop Route Map. Adventure Cycling Association. From St. George heading clockwise, the Utah Cliffs Loop Bicycle Route goes north to Snow Canyon State Park and then heads for historic Pine Valley, nestled in a bucolic basin in the Pine Valley Mountains. From Cedar City you will climb through the Hurricane Cliffs escarpment, high onto the Markagunt Plateau of the Dixie National Forest. At Navajo Lake, still at high elevation, you begin an unforgettable downhill run that starts out alongside the North Fork of the Virgin River - really just a creek at first - and ultimately meet SR 9 just east of Zion National Park. From Rockville, a series of backroads lead to Hurricane and finally back to St. George. Elevations on the route range from 2,500' to 10,000' above sea level. Road surfaces on the Utah Cliffs Route are approximately fifty percent dirt and gravel roads and fifty percent paved roads.

	$30.30	62-2230-WP	Washington Parks Route; Sedro-Woolley to Elma to Sedro-Woolley, WA circle route. 2 maps. 869.5 miles in length.
	$16.75	62-2230-WP1	Washington Parks Route Sheet 1: Sedro-Woolley, WA to Elma, WA. (310 mi.) Section 1 of the Washington Parks Bicycle Route begins by heading west out of Sedro-Woolley headed for Port Townsend, with options for a stop in the San Juan Islands. You'll use pieces of the Olympic Discovery Trail from Sequim to Port Angeles, passing the entry to Olympic National Park. The route then heads south for Elma along the coastal plains. To complete one of the two loops available on this route, the 111-mile Sound Alternate is a mostly rural connection back to Port Townsend that includes a spur to the Bremerton, with an option for travel to Seattle.
	$16.75	62-2230-WP2	Washington Parks Route Sheet 2: Elma, WA to Sedro-Woolley, WA. (559.5 mi.) Section 2 of the Washington Parks Bicycle Route begins in Elma and heads east into the foothills of the Cascades through former logging communities. Mt. Rainier grows ever closer until you enter its namesake national park. The climb is a fairly steady 5-8% until you leave the park and begin descending to the Yakima River. Ellensburg is a good place to stop and replenish before the next big climb, Blewett Pass (4,102'). Make time to stop and enjoy North Cascades National Park. The route then roughly follows the Skagit River to Sedro-Woolley.

Western Express Bicycle Trail. Adventure Cycling Association. The Western Express begins at the Golden Gate Bridge and ends at the Rocky Mountain Front, across some of America's most extreme terrain. See the Sierra Nevada, "America's loneliest highway", Utah's National Parks, and the heart of the Rockies. At Pueblo, the Western Express trail joins the TransAmerica Trail and continues eastward using the TransAmerica maps #7-12 (also listed just above in the TransAmerica section).
Route map.

	$150.75	62-2230-WE	Western Express Route + eastern Trans America Route; San Francisco, CA to Yorktown, VA. Set of 10 maps.
	$16.75	62-2230-WE1	San Francisco to Fallon, NV. Section 1 of the Western Express Route begins in San Francisco, California, and ends in Fallon, Nevada. Cyclists will encounter a wide variety of riding conditions from urban to rural while using state highways, county roads and separate bike paths. From Golden Gate Bridge the route takes a ferry across the bay to Vallejo and winds its way through the hills to Davis, widely known as the "Bicycle Capital of the World" and Sacramento. To traverse the state capital you'll ride a large portion of the Jedediah Smith National Recreation Trail, also known as the American River Bike Trail. East of Folsom the route climbs the Sierra Nevada range and enters Nevada south of Carson City. Nevada is Great Basin country. The route heads east to Fallon on U.S. Highway 50, the "Loneliest Road in America."
	$16.75	62-2230-WE2	Fallon, NV to Cedar City, UT. Section 2 of the Western Express Route begins in Fallon, Nevada, and heads east along U.S. Highway 50. This road was described some years ago by a Life magazine writer as "The Loneliest Road in America." You'll see occasional vehicles on the road but towns and services are spaced, in some instances a long day's ride apart. In most cases there are no homes or ranches between services. The maps note where the longest stretches without services are located. There are two 80+ mile streches without any services. This section of the Western Express Route is considered very difficult due not only to terrain, but also due to lack of water, temperature extremes, and long mileages without services. Carrying a water purifier is strongly advised for any water access outside of towns. Nevada is extremely dry and has no shade except for three trees east of Fallon that our researchers found. This section ends in Cedar City, Utah.
	$16.75	62-2230-WE3	Cedar City, UT to Dolores, CO. Section 3 of the Western Express Route begins in Cedar City, Utah, and ends in Dolores, Colorado. You'll see some of the most spectacular scenery in America along paved roads, and the route provides access to a large number of national parks, monuments and state parks. Take some extra time to explore and do some hiking and biking into the off-route parks. This section is considered very difficult due not only to terrain (grades from 6% to 14% in Utah), but also due to lack of water, temperature extremes, and long mileages without services. In most cases there are no homes or ranches between services. Carrying a water purifier is stongly advised for water access at Lake Powell and for miscellaneous reservoirs, creeks and lakes at primitive campsites. Utah is extremely dry and most of the route has only rocks for shade.
	$16.75	62-2230-WE4	Dolores, CO to Pueblo, CO. Section 4 of the Western Express Route begins in Dolores, Colorado. You may see other cyclists along portions of this route in the state. Between Dolores and Poncha Springs the same roads are used on the Great Parks South Route, and between Wetmore and Pueblo the route joins with the TransAmerica Trail. You'll be crossing a pass almost every day with several passes over 9,000 feet. Many of the passes along this section have climbing lanes for slower-moving traffic. When the route ends in Pueblo, Colorado, you can join the TransAmerica Trail to continue eastward.
	$16.75	62-2230-TA07	Pueblo, CO, to Alexander, KS. 289 miles. Section 7 of the TransAm takes you out of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and onto the High Plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas.
