We are planning a small group (4-6) trip in late October, riding rental bikes from Sedalia to St. Charles with a 2-day stop in Columbia. What do you recommend for low-cost lodging in Columbia? We want to do a day hike in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park. We will probably hire a shuttle service to get us around the area, if that's the best option, (pick us up at the end of the spur trail, take us to lodging, take us to State Park the next day, back to spur trail).

Another question concerns getting from the Kansas City International Airport to the Amtrak station. Is there a shuttle bus and what is the cost?

Sounds like a fun trip.Here's a discussion from a few months ago, about where to stay in Columbia: http://www.bikekatytrail.com/talk.aspx?thid=1684.Regarding your Kansas City question, I would try the KCI Shuttle at http://www.kctg.com/kcishuttle/hotels.html. Their website does not specifically mention Amtrak, but it does mention the downtown & Crown Center hotels, so I would imagine that they serve the train station as well.Good luck and have fun!

The Amtrak station in KC is just across the steet to the north of Crown Center in Union Station. If they have service to Crown Center.....you're there.
