Wife and I rode the Greenbrier this summer. Had a bobcat crossed about 5 feet in front of me. Also ran across the lot of evidence of a bear a bit south of marlinton. Overall, one of our favorite.

went to seebert and got ice cream from hack horners corner every day! it was so fun but the stuff is expensive!

Great video, great music. Been all over this country, West Virginia is easily one of the most beautiful states. There’s magic in those woods

Awesome trip Nathan. What a great group! The trail reminds me of the C&O. Love those tunnels! More trails need hiker/biker sites like these.

Hey Nathan, it’s Rob from PNW Bikepacking.
Been enjoying some of your clips this rainy Sunday afternoon in Portland Oregon.
Keep up the good work!

The GRT - right in my backyard. We think that this is a bright gem in our crown and it is greatly loved by so many! Glad you enjoyed the time here in the Greenbrier Valley and hope you will get to return and ride it again!

Another trail I need to add to my list of destinations. Thanks for sharing!

Really glad you did a video on this trail. I've hiked a lot of it, and loved it everytime I've been on it. I live within a stones throw of the North Bend Rail Trail State Park and while I'm partial to that Trail, I have the greatest love for the Greenbrier. Have a fantastic year, and "See you on the Trail. "

This is a great video of the trail and captures pretty well what its like to ride it. I skipped the camping part to go light renting a cabin around the middle to do an up and down and then down and up over a couple of days (you could also get something at Marlinton to spread it over 3 days). And yes there are bears for sure. Take bear spray for peace of mind.

Surprisingly few videos about riding this trail and much of what is out there is very old so nice to see a newer, more thorough video made. Thanks for making this. If my math is correct, seems like someone do this in three days and spend the night in Marlinton (non-camping) each night and have three ~50 days. Does that sound about right?

[SmuggiNOLA]

Such an excellent video!! Love how informative you made it!

It's so great to see a solid idea of a trail you're looking at doing!

[davidcrowson]

Thank you for sharing these videos i have enjoyed them I think I stumbled across your channel while searching for information on the surly bars and I think I watched about 10 of you adventures yesterday. Your videos are done very well and hopefully I might be able to try some of those trips. Thanks again and press on in the good work sir 👍

Another nice video of what looked like another great trip. Enjoyed it.

[jakeatterson]

Great video!! I hope to do this Trail soon but have never really camped in bear country… any suggestions? Thanks

[tomfrohlich]

Thank you for a great video.. always looking for trips

[spaceghost]

Looks great but sadly it's only 78 miles. I would have to make it a round trip I suppose. It's 590 miles just for me to drive to the Cass at the north end.

Nice video Nathan !!

I ride here annually !! Love the GRT and WV

[billysbikesbrews]

Great Video.. So much to love about this trail.. It exceeded my expectation also.. I stayed in Marlinton.. I visited Jack Horner's.. fun place.. I look forward to going back.. more sooner than later..

[rney]

Your backpacking routes are great! Are you interested to take in a rider from NC to join you on trips?

[dimitriosfotopoulos]

Nice video Nathan, thank you for sharing. I have a follow up question. I am new to RidewithGPS, and at 0:41 in the video, I see your route-map and many points of interest such as campsites and restrooms showing, but I can't seem to call them up. How do you get them to show?
