August 2, 2023 - Comprising well over 400 miles boasts more than 32,000 feet in elevation changes, the new Endless Mountains Gravel Bikepacking Loop (EMGBL) in northeastern Pennsylvania is an amazing mixed-surface route that can be tackled as one mammoth cycling adventure, or cycled in sections over time.

Organizers have installed a divider route creating eastern and western sections to facilitate the enjoyment of the route for all levels of riders. The awesome trails utilize a large portion of the 2021 Pennsylvania Trail of the Year, the 38-mile Delaware & Hudson (D&H) Rail-Trail in Susquehanna County.

The Endless Mountains Bicycle Friendly Business Program, created in conjunction with the EMGBL, provides the opportunity for various local businesses and organizations in the region to ensure cyclists have hospitable access to repairs and charging stations, supplies and lodging for their trip.

There are countless accommodation options in the area along with plenty of re-fueling spots as well along with museums and historical societies, theatres, festivals and events, retreats, spas and wellness boutiques. There is also an interactive map that can then be downloaded via Strava or Ride with GPS.

The EMGBL has been created and developed through a partnership between multiple organizations, including the Endless Mountains Heritage Region, the Endless Mountains Visitors Bureau, Bradford County Tourism Promotion Agency and the Northern Tier Regional Planning and Development Commission.
