We asked our shuttle driver when the trail was least crowded. He told us Tuesday and Wednesday are always the quietest days. Also, if you start early in the morning (take the very first shuttle of the day), it’s really not bad. We biked on a weekday during the peak of fall color and had the trail largely to ourselves, but that was because it was a bit rainy.

If you go on a weekday, is it less crowded? I would like to bike the trial in the spring, but I hate crowds. When is the best time to not have crowds?

We’ll definitely be making a return trip to the Creeper. Thanks for the cafe recommendation.

I grew up in Taylor’s Valley, VA and have lived in Raleigh, NC since 1984. I just wanted to say how beautiful your pictures are of the Creeper Trail. We still go up there quite often (since my family is still there)and it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful it is along the trail. Next time you are up there, stop by my sister’s cafe (The Creeper Trail Cafe, in Taylor’s Valley). Keep taking beautiful pictures!

Yes… you guys would love the Creeper! It’s such a fun and scenic ride. And there’s so much good food along the way!

It looks so pretty! I really hope we can make it out there sometime next year. And I really hope it’s not raining when we do
