About This Route
The Monkey Town Loop starts and ends in historic Dayton, Tenn., home of the highly publicized Scopes Trail, aka "Monkey Trial," of July 1925. This route is a monumental challenge, featuring two notable climbs: Brayton Mountain and Evensville Mountain. While both are challenging, Evensville takes the nod as the harder climb due to a steeper average grade leading up Walden Ridge. Enjoy this challenge, with its scenery and history, and a fabulous ending at Monkey Town Brewery.
