Once the highest rail station east of the Rockies, The Whitetop Station now welcomes cyclists from around the world. The Station serves as the starting point for downhill cyclists and a welcome rest stop for those who ride up the trail. It is your one-stop hub for all things trail-related. You'll find trail information, maps, restrooms, a selection of snacks and beverages, and the largest collection of historical photos of the Creeper Trail from 1900 to today.
Although the original building was demolished after the rail line was abandoned in 1977, a new chapter began on October 22, 2000. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the US Forest Service and the Friends of Whitetop Station, a new building emerged. Expanded and improved, the new structure honors the legacy of its predecessor while offering enhanced amenities for today’s visitors. Join us at Whitetop Station and be part of the ongoing story of this historic landmark.
All contributions are used to help pay for repairs and maintenance to the Whitetop Station, and to support different initiatives within our community.
