UGRR: North To Niagara

We’ll be immersed in history as we ride from the Deep South to Niagara Falls through the landscapes and communities that provided shelter and aid to freedom seekers.

The route begins in Mobile, winding north through Alabama’s Tombigbee River valley with its massive black gum forests, bald cypress swamps, and wildlife refuges. We’ll ride through the Tennessee River valley, pass many Civil War sites, traverse the scenic Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, and cross the Ohio River. In Cincinnati, we’ll visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, which highlights some of the personal stories of freedom seekers. Finally we’ll head to Buffalo and finish the tour with an unloaded ride to the Canadian border to end this tremendous tour at thundering Niagara Falls.
