The New River Trail travels more than 55 miles along the New River, the oldest river in North America, providing many scenic vistas, bridge crossings and tunnels through mountains. We won't be biking that entire distance, but will be taking a 12 mile section from Galax, VA to Fries Junction, VA.   For our campsite, we will be staying at Camp Raven knob and utilizing some of their Adirondack sites, much like we did on our climbing trip there in 2023.   As for bikes, we again are offering the opportunity for attendees to bring their own bikes if you choose as well as coordinating rentals for those who need it. Please see the links to the left to RSVP and packing list/preliminary itinerary. Need a Merit Badge Counselor? Counselor lists are now available!
