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.
