Vista 300 & Mountain 420 (2019)
TN, United States 420mi (676km)
Two route options, two different lengths. The Vista 300 & Mountain 420 should not be underestimated!
The Vista 300 is a self-supported bikepacking adventure. It has some of the best singletrack, vistas, gravel, and country roads that Cherokee National forest and the surrounding areas have to offer. Spanning several mountain ranges and watersheds, this loop starts and finishes on the banks of the Hiwassee river in Reliance, Tennessee.
The Mountain 420 is an expanded version of the Vista 300. It ventures deep into the Cohuttas and Chattahoochee National Forest exploring even more of the best singletrack and gravel that the Southeast has to offer.

(2018 Event Recap): The Vista 300 is one of hardest, yet most beautiful routes on the East Coast for its size. Same with the Mountain 420. I feel they will become iconic routes on the East Coast.
