Hi. My family and I are hoping to do a car-free katy trip from St. Louis back to Columbia. We plan to ride the trail to JC, catch AmTrak to St. Louis or the nearest train stop to the trailhead in St. Chas...is there a closer one? And ride back home.

SO, where is the best place to get off AmTrak? What is the most bike friendly way to ride from the train to the trail?

Amtrak has a station at Kirkwood. Not very close to St. Charles. Maybe you could get a friend or relative to come and get you at the station.
