The TransAmerica Trail An epic bike ride from coast to coast — 4,232 miles
E
ach year we meet bicyclists who are traveling from coast to coast. Some are raising money for a cause dear to their hearts, and others are riding it just because they want to see the
country. This 4,232-mile trail goes from Astoria, Ore., to Yorktown,Va. It comes across Oregon through the middle of the state, and crosses Baker County by passing
Sumpter, Baker City, Richland, Halfway and Oxbow. Then it heads into Idaho and on to Montana. For descriptions of each segment, visit the website listed below.
