We would like to explore the trail but have 3 small children who will be riding along with us. Are there any suggestions for a short trip (half-day) with some beautiful scenery a 7 year old and two 5 year olds can handle?

You might want to access the Katy Trail along Greens bottom road in Saint Charles. Where Greens bottom turns into Pittman Hill road is an access area that eventually runs along the bluffs. The Missouri river is close as well, I'd say 2 or 3 miles in and around mile marker 50, or 51 on the trail there is a path (by a set of benches) that goes all the way down to the rivers edge. I've taken my 5 and 9 year old on this ride and they did well.

Rocheport would be a good place to start. The tunnel is way cool and it is right along the
river with gorgeous bluffs. And, when you are done riding for the day, there are a couple of
restaurants to have dinner and you have a full day.
