These Greenways & Trails Summit events bring together a network of various agencies, organizations, and outdoor enthusiasts who are involved in planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, promoting, and utilizing trails and greenways in eastern Pennsylvania to improve outdoor recreation in the Commonwealth.
What else is there to do in the Endless Mountains?
Following the Summit, the EMHR and partner organizations will be hosting the Endless Mountains 430 Challenge https://emheritage.org/the-endless-mountains-430-challenge/, a self-supported race along the 430-mile Endless Mountains Gravel Bikepacking Loop (EMGBL) that begins on September 21st. The EMGBL boasts nearly 42,000 feet in elevation changes throughout the four counties that make up the Heritage Region. Summit guests are welcome to register for the Challenge or take the time to visit our many historic sites and recreational areas in the rest of the Endless Mountains region or even take a short ride north to the Finger Lakes region of New York State.
