Scenic Byways ~ Midland Trail
Recently my cousin and I had a few days free so we decided to take a road trip to visit family in KY. One of our goals was to drive only designated National Scenic Byways as much as we possibly could so we drove the Midland Trail, Route 60, beginning at White Sulpher Springs, WV and ending at Louisville, Ky. This video contains only a few of the many scenic stops we made along the way. If you'd like to find the scenic byways in your area search byways.org and take time to enjoy the ride!

Ride West Virginia - New River Gorge (Bridge & Harley Davidson)
Join us on a motorcycle tour of the scenic New River Gorge area of West Virginia!!
The ride out Route 60 from Charleston to Fayetteville is a fantastic ride. Starting at the State capital along the Kanawha River kicks off a very scenic trip. Headed east out of the capital you travel along the river as it cuts through the mountains. The backbone of the economy, coal, is prevalent as you leave the city.
As you ride , there are several opportunities to stop and have breakfast at Tudors Biscuit World if you start out early like I did. The Peppi is always my go too, it's delicious!!!
If you play close attention, just before you get to the town of Gauley Bridge, there's a small unmarked oasis to cool off and rehydrate with natural spring water. Thanks to whoever supplied the old picnic table. Just look for the small gravel pull off.
Once you reach Gauley Bridge, the riding and the views become spectacular. I veered off of 60 at Chimney Corner, to travel Rt. 16 the rest of the way to Fayetteville. It was an amazing ride as it followed the New River. Lots of twists and turns, fellow bikers and amazing scenery. I highly recommend this stretch. That route will take you to Rt. 19 and over the New River Gorge bridge as you head north. The visitors center is a good place to stop and stretch your legs and take in this magnificent structure. If you travel past the visitors center you can ride down the one way switch backs to arrive at the bottom of the gorge. It's well worth the time. Some of the turns are severe so be cautious not to high center your bike. The road is scarred with those who didn't.
After spending some time watching rafters it was back up the Gorge and off to New River Harley Davidson. It's just a few minutes away, up 19 and back onto Rt. 60. Lots of great people, a friendly staff and a very cool t-shirt. After meeting tons of new friends, it was west on 60 to Hawks Nest and back to Gauley Bridge. Only the few miles outside of Gauley Bridge is really good riding, but worth the trip to stop by the park and overlook. Rt. 16 is a better ride, but it makes for a nice loop on this trip.
There are so great many see things to see on this route, so head out and discover them. Enjoy!!

US Route 60 in West Virginia Hawks Nest to Gauley Bridge
US 60 in West Virginia is well known by many motorcyclists! If you love those curvy roads then this is for you. The stretch of road that we show you here, is between Hawks Nest and Gauley Bridge. On the eastern side is Hawks Nest, a great place to stop for a break and checkout the overlooks, which are accessible by a very short trail. The west side is Cathedral Falls, which is also a great place to check out especially after a decent rainfall. When flowing, the falls are beautiful and can be seen from the road, but there is a parking lot to stop and have a look.

Midland Trail July 2014
This was my first ever video that I did while riding the Steel Horse. It is just a portion of the Midland Trail (Hwy 60) in West Virginia. It was one of the best roads I have been on with a motorcycle. I will be riding the Midland Trail again this summer (2018). I will provide you with a better video then.
