Ride the rails on the new Rail Explorers & Scenic Valley Railroad attraction in Boone

Rolling hills, open fields and a bridge that stands nearly 160 feet above the ground highlight what riders will see while gliding on the tracks of Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad's unique rail bike attraction.
Poised to open July 21, thrill-seekers and nature lovers will be able to pedal down the tracks of the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad on four-wheeled, motor-assisted, open-air carts also known as rail bikes.
Operated by Rail Explorers USA, the 12.4-mile round-trip tour winds along the Des Moines River and features a cross over the 156-foot-tall Bass Point Creek High Bridge.

That looks like so much fun!! ..but I gotta tell ya , I'm petrified of going over that huge trestle..

[@swmovan]

Notice they aren't looking down.

[@jordanalexander615]

I would be scared but I'd love it

[@Naber_Dan]

I live near the high tressle bridge. I can hear the cars clearly. THEY MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. You need to replace the steel wheels or rubberize them.

I wish they would do this sort of thing, rather than dismantling all the old track that is no longer in use.
