SaveHome to many thousands of residents including Virginia Tech students, Blacksburg is nestled at the base of the southern Appalachian Mountains in the region known as the New River Valley. In the mid 2010s the Poverty Creek Trails Coalition (PCTC) adopted stewardship of this region's trails, and actively maintains over 50 miles of trail. Blacksburg features rocky hand-cut singletrack, steep forested terrain, professionally built jump lines, and much more, utilizing the 800+ ft. of vertical available in the mountain ridges just a 10 minute drive from town.
