The Adventure Cycling Association is giving all bike enthusiasts tips on securing a place to sleep in the US after a long day’s ride.
With the fantastic national parks across the US, biking across the Canadian-American border is a great way to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, it can also make planning a little tricky.
There’s a certain level of uncertainty with how far you’ll be able to bike, and things may not always go to plan. That makes trying to reserve a spot at a campsite especially difficult.
But, according to the Adventure Cycling Association, it doesn’t have to be.
The association highlighted that a number of state parks implement a no-turn-away policy that guarantees emergency camping space for “small groups of self-contained bicycle travellers who arrive at a full campground.”
For bikers visiting one of the state parks with the policy, the association recommends bringing a hard copy to ensure they can grab one of the emergency spots.
