- Hey everybody, In this video I travel back to Jim Thorpe, on The Surly Krampus to try to find the southern terminus of The Switchback Gravity Rail trail. The Trail starts at the top of Packer Hill road, it's a pretty rough trailhead with no signs, or indications that a trail starts, The Switchback runs parallel to The Mauch Chunk Cemetery and isn't all that hard to find. I hope everybody finds this video informative and helpful. So stoked to have found another 20 miles of rough gravel, and a new Mountain to climb. If you have never been to Jim Thorpe, you must go. Stay Tuned for more adventures, Catch you on the trail.
Great video!! Awesome looking area and some great trail!!!🚴
Jim Thorpe is always a great time.
Remember going hiking there many years ago with my sister my mother probably my brother. Pennsylvania has so many nice forested areas stretching from Central Pennsylvania to Northern Pennsylvania.
PA has a lot to offer.
Great views. The drone shots very nice. Thanks for the video.
Hey, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
You're outthere slaying the gravel nice. I was out slaying the asphalt today did a Walmart run 15 mile round trip feeling good. Me thinks you had a better ride. Its a beautiful trail.
How are you liking the flat bars? I've been riding drops for my entire life and have been wanting to get another bike with flats. Looks like it may be a bit easier to maneuver on trails like this. Nice video!!
Love the flats, that’s the Salsa Whammy Bar, but miss the drops from time to time. I have more of an aggressive stance on the bike with these bars, I feel I can really whip around the front end. Love it.
Always dynamic thanks for sharing !!!!
8 hrs is a bit of a drive for me. But it looks like an awesome trail!
Pretty sure that's a Pinto wagon in the beginning.
Nice, I was pretty sure it wasn’t a Gremlin, but wasn’t sure what it was. Thanks for the info.
Wow!!!! When you take off that restrictor plate you really go places. What a nice find. Sometimes we don't even know what's in our backyards. Take care, Al
Haha, this bike has changed my life. I have really exhausted the areas I ride in, lately I have been digging a little deeper and driving to ride other areas. Thanks for watching.
That dialogue cracked me up eheh
I like that "camp wherever I want" style.
Nice training spot.
And great views from the top!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Such a great trail.
really cool, tried doing the whole D&L but closures and the D&L map did not jive at all so we gave up and did a road tour. Wanted to drive to Thorpe and poke all around but worried we would run out fo milage. these types of trails would be perfect to add some miles/views
They are working on the D&L, the northern section is complete, but there always seems to be construction around north hampton, just a short road ride around to the other sections of trail. I love that ride. Hope to see you out there.
Damn! TT,s fired up today! Rocking the Krampus, you seem to be in your element:) are you near Brevard, NC?
The Krampus is changing my life. This trail is 640 miles north of Brevard, NC. Jim Thorpe, PA.
"Hey you can't sleep there" ... "Why not?" ...."i don't know!?!.." That was a lol and so true.
Glad you liked the video.
Wow! Amazing trails. So beautiful there. The colors in Fall have to be breath taking. 🍂🍁
Thank you for sharing your adventures. 👍👍🚵♂️
Thanks for watching. Yeah, Jim Thorpe in the fall is packed, good luck finding a parking spot. There is a passenger train that runs up Thru The Lehigh Gorge and in the fall it is quite spectacular.
I am psyched to hit that shit. Thanks for the scouting! Can't wait to take a leak in "the cabin"
Yeah man, super cool trail. I felt like had exhausted Jim Thorpe there for a while. This trail opens up lots of opportunities, also leads to other trails. Hope you found this helpful. The Cabin is a great stop.
Always a great day when I get to watch a new TT episode. As always, thanks for sharing.
Awesome, thanks for watching. Catch you on the road, dude.
I envy you and the beautiful places you get to deeply experience 👍
Let the good times roll.
This trail looked so smooth, perfect to ride. 👍
The trail had some rough spots, for sure. Such a great ride.
Colorado ain’t what it used to be, I got out. Sweet trail.
Thanks man, pretty sure I’m heading out. Hope you still have mountains in your life.
As usual thank you for bringing us along on your amazing travels
Thanks for joining me in the adventures.
Another great video! I am heading there this week.
Wicked rain on Thursday, see you at the top. Thanks for watching.
Great video-you got me lost👍🏻
You’re welcome.
"Not exactly trail legal." 🤣
Nice.
Trail appears fine. The exploration opens new venues. Thanks.
Great, glad you found this video useful.
Utah bro!
