Greetings! Hubby and I will be passing thru Missouri in late May/early June on our cross-country trip. This trail sounds awesome to us for biking a portion. Are there sections which are prettier than others? Searched a bit on your forum for this question to no avail.

Sedalia to Boonville is remote tree tunnel, Rocheport to Mcbaine is bluffs on the river and heavily travelled--many people think of that as the best part of the trail. Jeff City to Marthasville is classic Katy (small towns, river, rural, farms--with my favorite remote area between McKittrick and Treloar), east side is ride/eat/drink/stop and read about Daniel Boone country. St Charles has a nice tourist area with bars, restaurants, a park, Lewis and Clark museum, etc. There is something to be said for all parts of the trail.

Rocheport east to McBaine is probably the most iconic with the only tunnel on the trail, river bluffs, river views, limestone bluffs, tree canopy, petroglyphs, caves, etc. Rocheport is a quaint little town with nice B&B's and a winery on top of the bluff with a nice bistro and an A-frame with a deck to enjoy a bottle of Missouri wine while enjoying the view over the river bottom. Downtown Rocheport has other places to eat also, which are worth the stop too.
