Montrose, PA

Written By David Landis

Montrose blends one of Pennsylvania's most beautiful historic downtowns with some of the finest hilly gravel roads in PA. Routes radiate from the county seat through rolling farmland, maple forests, quiet gravel roads, and historic villages, connecting destinations like Salt Springs State Park, Milk Can Corners, and the Endless Mountains Rail Trail. Rich in Revolutionary-era history, Underground Railroad heritage, and small-town charm, Montrose also serves as the home of the annual Starrucca Crossing gravel event, making it an outstanding launching pad for riders seeking gravel and a deep connection to the region's history.
