I am planning to bike part of the trail over three to five days round trip. I don't want to deal with the transportation challenges of an end to end trip. Which part of the trail has the best scenery and the least urban traffic challenges?

You can't go wrong by doing the section from Rocheport to Augusta. If you don't have enought ime do the Rocheport to Hermann section. Go Hogs.

Pearl, the "best scenery" question gets asked a lot, valid question, but it is tough to answer. My answer, "I have no favorite child, I love them all for who and what they are!"

All of the trail is nice, for more varied scenery, Sedalia to Jefferson City. Don't know if it is the "best" scenery though. Usually the best scenery is on the part that I am riding.

Truthfully, I would bet that any section of the trail you choose, you will enjoy.

To me, the best section is McKittrick (Herman) to Augusta/Defiance...flat, scenic, lots of wineries and B&B's. St. Charles has a lot too if you keep going in that direction. From Rocheport to Herman there just isn't much. West of Rocheport is full of hills.
