A small group of friends and i are wanting to do a 2-3 day ride on the katy trail. Any suggestions for the most scenic part of the trail? The best part for camping along the trail? the part that's most challenging? the part that's an easy ride? the part that's the most fun in terms of sight-seeing in the towns? thanks so much!

Whole trail is flat. Figure 10-12 mph average with light packing. Why not stay in the numerous B&B's on the trail. Hot shower, good Breakfast and you don't have to carry camping gear. Besides the B&B's along the trail could use the business.

Im planning the same type of trip and want to be sure to add some wineries to the ride. We'll be camping though. B&B's will have to come down from $140/night if they want my business!

The whole trail is not flat! I have ridden the Sedalia to Boonville section and there are some
uphill grades, particularly between Clifton City & Pilot Grove. You can refer to the "Elevation
chart" under FAQ. It appears from this chart that there are also some grades between Clinton
& Sedalia.

I have ridden the entire trail several times and my favorite part is from New Franklin to St Charles. It is mostly flat, runs along the river for the most part, offers the most awesome views, and goes through the neatest little towns. Be sure to eat the pancakes at the Trailside Cafe in Rocheport, and stop at the bike shops in Hartsburg and Augusta. Have fun.

The most senic is Rocheport. Approx 1 mile out of Rocheport is the only tunnel on the trail. A few miles in the other direction is the Lewis & Clark cave written about in Clarks journal. The trail is above and along the Missouri river. I would call the Rocheport city hall for information on possible flooding.
