Bicycle Touring is ALL inclusive meaning any where you can ride your bike: paved+unpaved, remote+city, panniers+framepacks. So you can bicycle tour anywhere on Earth, even without a GPS

BTW: In my 20's I backpacked extensivisly in the Adirondacks, VT, & ME so I know there are remote areas in the northeast

Limited to trails? Um, no. My 3 inch tires take me everywhere. I think some are hung up on definitions, it matters not. Just ride what you brung. Cheers. See you on the pave, grass, woodchips, gravel, dirt, bike paths, singletrack, dried stream beds, old rr tracks, and atv trails.
