We could use your help. We need suggestions on the most scenic sections of the trail, as we have limited time on our return trip to Canada. Would like to do two to three day out and back as a sample for a future trip. Camping or B&B would do. Your help would be most appreciated, as we have never been in this area before.
care,
Jim and Betty

You could cover more miles by biking one direction and catching Amtrak back. Two trains/day each way. Train stops at St. Louis, Kirkwood (not on Katy) Washington, Hermann, Jeff City, Sedalia. Rail stations are on the south side of the river; Katy on the north side. Dangerous crossing the river at Washington; no bike lane; take a taxi $15. Easy/safe crossing at Hermann, Jeff City. Bikes can be taken on the train ($10, only 4 per train so reserve early.)
Don't miss the Hotel Bothwell/Sedalia; Hotel Frederick/Booneville; Globe Hotel/Hartsburg or Rendleman's B&B/Bluffton if you bike and stay in these areas.
My wife and I completed the Katy last week. Email if I can help with more details: dgat1989@yahoo.com . We rode 35-42 miles/day and enjoyed ourselves (we are mid-60's). A great trip would be Sedalia to McKittrick, taking the train from Hermann (across the river from McKittrick) back to Sedalia.

Is this the couple I met at the airport in Gallatin, TN?

A popular section is between Rocheport and McBaine, and really all
the way to Jeff City is pretty nice I think. The tunnel is near
rocheport and a lot of that section is right along the river with
bluffs right above the trail. Another nice section is just west of
Treloar until Gore.
