Rode about 10 miles on the trail from Eastham up through Wellfleet. Trail is in good condition, cracks and bumps are marked with yellow paint. Most users are friendly with a hello or a wave. There are a few self-important delusional world class Olympians who will run you off the trail if you don't get out of their way fast enough!
Great roadside stop. Signage explains about the history of lighthouses on the Cape. Nice peaceful place, not a lot of parking though!
The Rangers and volunteers are so knowledgeable and friendly. It turns out the Minute Man statue was sculpted by a distant relative of a friend of ours! The signage really helps describe what was going on during those days and how the local residents felt and took action.
The visitor centers at the park are wonderful! The store, however, is closed at this center, so you have to stop at another to purchase items. The trail itself is closed past Brooks Village for some upgrades, but it's still a great hiking/biking experience. While we were there, they were filming a movie! See the pictures.
What a wonderful nps to visit! The ranger and especially a very friendly volunteer shared all types of info on the park, trails, wildlife, and much more on our visit. I only wish I had left more time to explore. I will definitely be back to see more! Free to enter, although there is a donation jar that helps them offset costs.
