The Mountaineer Monster bikepacking routes offer a challenging, yet rewarding, tour of the Mountaineer Country region of West Virginia, routing through the highlights of Monongalia, Preston, Barbour, and Taylor Counties. If you are brave enough to ride amongst the cryptids of local lore, you’ll find countless swimming holes, breathtaking vistas, and the welcoming people of the region. The routes favor the less-frequented gravel roads of the region, many of which are chunky, rutted, and unimproved for years.
