The area on both sides of Rocheport is beautiful. Heading toward Boonville, there is a cool train tunnel, as well as some interesting walking paths right by that. (Even if you decide to go the other direction, the tunnel is very close by the town and not to be missed.) If you continue in that direction and go farther toward Boonville, there is less shade and more farm land on either side. Heading toward Columbia, I think there is at least one cave and again some beautiful shaded areas right along the Missouri river. Beautiful riding!
