The first [Amana Colonies](http://www.amanacolonies.com/) Gravel Bike Routes are ready for use. The routes each begin in Middle Amana, separating into the longer Route A going to West Amana and the shorter [Route B](http://ridewithgps.com/routes/10124181) going to High Amana. While on the gravel routes, the riders will experience historical points of interest in Middle Amana, @poi[High Amana](1524407), and @poi[West Amana](1524408).

The Amana Colonies are a set of seven historic villages spaced approximately 7 miles apart. In latter days, the villages were communal with families living, working, and eating together. In 1932, the Amana Society chose to abandoned the communal ways. It has become a top tourism attraction in Iowa with over 1 million visitors per year.

Route A begins in Middle Amana at the entrance to the [Amana Colonies Golf Course](http://www.amanagolfcourse.com/), riders will travel to West Amana. This route is more challenging and approximately a 17 mile round trip. West Amana features Iowa’s Largest Walnut Rocking Chair, Basket and Broom Shop, Opa’s Tractor Museum, Michele Maring Miller Studio and Gallery, and the landscape that inspired Grant Wood to paint his famous Young Corn.
