Come experience the beautiful pastoral landscapes of northeastern Pennsylvania in a whole new way! The now officially launched Endless Mountains Gravel Bikepacking Loop (EMGBL) takes gravel cyclists hundreds of miles through the four scenic counties of Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Wyoming, with some unforgettable stops along the way.
This mixed surface route is primarily gravel and dirt roads, but also incorporates some paved riding to ensure cyclists see our beautiful towns and business districts. Our rural region is home to countless back country dirt roads, quaint and historic downtowns, stunning scenic overlooks, museums and historical societies, breweries and wineries, award-winning trails, state and county parks, picturesque creeks and streams, and the majestic Susquehanna River. With various overnight options like our beautiful B&Bs, conveniently located hotels and private campgrounds strewn throughout the designated route, cyclists can ride this massive loop in increments over time or plan a multi-day (or multi-week) trip to complete the entire journey. The choice is up to you!
This new bikepacking loop boasts over 42,000 feet in elevation changes throughout the approximate 430-miles. For those keeping track, that’s collectively taller than Mount Everest! While that may seem like a massive challenge, you’ll be too distracted by the intrinsic beauty of the region to pay any attention to the intense workout you’re getting. Based on feedback from cyclists that have ridden the route in its entirety, we recommend riding the EMGBL in a counter-clockwise direction. While the starting point lies in Towanda (Bradford County), riders are able to start the route anywhere they please.
