Bikepacking the Empire State Trail from Albany to NYC 

Thank you! It’s a great trip. Just make sure to really figure out the accommodations in advance, that’s the toughest part of this tour in my opinion

It’s definitely a great trail!

Thanks for maintaining the trail!

Ahhh I had no clue!

Good luck! Didn’t stay in Kingston, but it’s a moderate sized town so there’s definitely a chance of campsites. Will say that campsites were unfortunately sparse along the route. Great besides that.

@@Liston611 I see that after Kingston is Creekview Campground I try to get there. It's gonna be a long ride but I can do it if the weather and wind direction is in my favor. I rode the Erie Canal Trail last month from Buffalo to Albany now trying to finish the entire Empire State. Trial.

@@FollowThomas sounds like an awesome trip, good luck!

Honestly that was probably the most difficult part of the trip. We stayed at a hipcamp, which imo was overpriced ($90). We got lucky in Germantown since the BNB was full and a townsperson let us stay in their back yard. For the last night we stayed with a warmshowers host, which was incredible and free, but we had to detour to Connecticut which added a lot of elevation. Hopefully as the trail develops there will be more places to stay that pop up. As of now it’s still pretty fresh and there isn’t much built up to specifically cater to bike tourists

For this trip we only went North-> South, so didn’t do any of the section that goes out towards Buffalo. Did run into some travelers that came from that way though, and they said it was cool to see the canal.

@@Liston611 Thanks man! Totally appreciate it

​@@warrencsb01 Did you do the Erie Canalway Trail? I rode it last month and have videos for each day if you're interested check it out. 👍

I only did a say trip couldn’t Pul it off time wise, thanks for checking in man
