We are planning to walk the Katy trail starting in St Charles and walk 8 hours a day for 2 weeks.
I would like to know if someone have done this before , are there places to stay overnight along the trail? Facilities? Any link we can use for better planning?
Thank you

The APP on KT has links for answers to all your questions. It should be fun.

I hiked the entire trail last October, I finished it in 16 days with one day off. It’s a great hike and their is somewhere to stay in almost every town. Enjoy your hike!????

I plan to walk from Sedalia East and camp along the way. Is there somewhere I can camp near Clifton City? The campground at Pilot Grove is too far for a day's walk.

Which direction are you hiking?... I hiked the entire trail from Clinton to Machens. Pending on your direction there are plenty of places to stay and plenty o re-supply.

Depending on which direction you walk there are plenty of places to stay?

Strange phenomenon. I've never experienced that on a bike or in a car. Never noticed the towns changing position or anything.

I guess I have noticed hiking in the mountains, that the return distance is exponentially greater than the distance hiking in. Maybe it is a walking/hiking thing.
