The guide

Riding the Triangle

Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Cary share one of the South's best greenway systems — 100+ miles of paved, car-free paths linking campuses, downtowns, and forests. Here's the backbone.

22 PAVED MI

American Tobacco Trail

The crown jewel — a flat rail-trail running from downtown Durham deep into the southern Triangle.

~28 MI

Neuse River Greenway

Follows the Neuse down Raleigh's east side — long, shaded, and almost entirely off-street.

100+ MI

Capital Area Greenways

Raleigh's web of paved greenways linking parks, the art museum, and downtown.

WEST SIDE

Bolin Creek & Carrboro

Shaded creek paths connecting Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the UNC campus.

Why Trazo

Built for riders who'd rather not gamble on traffic

Every street and path is graded for how safe and connected it really is — so the route you get is one you'll actually enjoy.

See what's protected

Trails, lanes, and quiet streets are color-graded by stress level — cool means calm, red means watch out.

Loops by distance

Want a 12-mile ride? Get loops that hit your target and bring you back home, not an out-and-back you have to reverse.

Busy-crossing alerts

The map flags uncontrolled crossings — busy roads with no signal — so nothing catches you off guard.

Elevation-aware

See the climb before you commit, and flip on “prefer flat” when you (or the kids) aren't in the mood for hills.

How it works

From “where do I even ride?” to rolling in three steps

Set your start & destination

Search an address, drop a pin, or use your location. Or pick “Loop ride” and just set a distance.

Pick your comfort level

Kid-friendly, relaxed, or anything-goes. Trazo biases the route toward protected paths to match — and you can drag the line to add a stop.

Ride it

Follow turn-by-turn with voice cues, see your elevation profile, find pit stops along the way, or export a GPX.
