Birds By Bike - Spring Migration!
Join Penn Trails and our expert Guide for this unique biking and birding tour, through the the gently rolling Cumberland Valley. We will encounter singing Meadowlarks, Kestrels hunting mice, Swallows swooping for insects, and Red-tailed Hawks soaring high above. Stream-side back roads will lead us past Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, Ducks and perhaps a migrating Osprey. Walking stretch breaks along the way will enable us to search for Black-crowned Night-herons, Rusty Blackbirds, a Bald Eagle nest, and the many colorful Warblers, Orioles, Thrushes and other woodland songbirds just returning from the tropics. Whether your an avid bird watcher or simply someone who is seeking to enjoy a relaxing weekend biking through pastoral countryside, this bicycling tour will be a great Spring experience. Your lodging accomodations on this tour also provide a unique, one of a kind experience. Friday night we stay at the history, century old Cameron Mansion at Kings Gap Environmental Education Center and State Park, located near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Following a day of birding and biking in the Cumberland Valley, our SAG van will pick you up and transport you to the Mercersburg Inn, which is also a beautiful century old mansion with commanding views of Tuscarora Mountain. This tour is designed for active people eighteen years of age or older, who are novice to intermediate riders, comfortable with daily distances of up to 25 miles. We will travel at a relaxed pace of ten miles-per-hour, over rolling rural terrain during the course of a seven hour day. Each day will include pre-planned stops of approximately thirty minutes or more for bird watching with your Guide, as well as, a one hour lunch. Each rider is provided with a complete set of program sheets and ride books. We ask only that riders make the pre-planned stops with the rest of the group along the way.
