How is the ride from trailhead into Jefferson City on hwy 54? Safe/ easy? 2 to 3 miles? I see there is now a pedestrian/bike path on the bridge but what about the highway? THANKS

I would definitely not ride on the highway. The bike path is great.

We were there in May, and if I remember correctly there is a way to get over to the Skywalk (which is really cool!) without getting on the highway. There is a trail other than Katy trail that heads toward Jefferson from the North Jefferson Trailhead. We took that going to the Skywalk to get into Jefferson, but that trail was a little rough and if it's been raining I don't imagine it would be in good shape. But going back to Katy the next day, we avioded that trial, and took city streets. I don't remember which streets, but it was not via highway. Be prepared for major hills in Jefferson, BTW.

It’s pretty easy. Take the Katy Spur from the N. Jefferson trailhead. The spur dead ends at Fourth Street. Go right on Fourth Street for 3 blocks to Cottonwood Street. Turn left on Cottonwood and follow it to where it ends at a parking lot. The path to the bridge pedestrian lane is at the southeast corner of the parking lot.

Perfect, thanks for the detailed instructions...

Absolutely stay off of Hwy 54, us the spur trail that will get you into Jeff City.
