- See Wright Brothers and Air Force Museums on a Bikeway Tour

Connect the dots on river trails to visit Riverscape Park, US Air Force National Museum, & Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park

The Miami Valley region that Dayton is located in has trails! 350 miles of bike trails - "the nation's largest paved trail network". This tour certainly is not going to try to cover all of it in one day, but will cover several miles of the best of it. Starting in the outlying countryside the tour route will follow alongside the Great Miami River into downtown Dayton's Riverscape Metropark. Here, you can see one of the world's largest water fountains, Five Rivers Fountain of Lights. There is also a concession stand and restrooms.

The next stop on the tour is the national monument to the Wright brothers - Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. The air-conditioned museum and historical center, Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center, ties together the Wright brothers' ingenious contributions to the world of transportation, from printing to bicycles to airplanes. "Visitors can view the park film, Wright Brothers On Great White Wings, in the auditorium. From there, guests can explore the interpretive exhibits and displays on the first floor which give more insight into the lives and aviation journey of Dayton's most famous figures, Wilbur and Orville Wright".

The last stop is the massive National Museum of the US Air Force - "the world’s largest military aviation museum. With free admission and parking, the museum features more than 350 aerospace vehicles and missiles and thousands of artifacts amid more than 19 acres of indoor exhibit space".
