Two couples -- all seniors -- will be riding 100 to 120 miles of the trail over 4 days this September. For scenic beauty, what section of the trail would you recommend we ride? Secondary considerations are ease of riding and places to spend the nights (25 to 30 miles apart). Are any of the Missouri counties that the trail passes through dry (non-alcoholic)? Thanks for your help!

I would start at Rocheport and go east.

Me too.....100 miles or so would take you from some good Rocheport wine through more very good wine at Hermann and on to even more at Augusta. To my knowledge none of the counties in Missouri wine country are dry.

We are two senior couples that plan to ride the Katy trail in September 2010. If you would like a copy of our itinerary, I would be happy to email it to you. It is too long to post here.

If your ride is one-way, you might consider riding between the Booneville and Dutzow/Augusta regions for a complete spackling of the varied autumn-scenery, wildlife, sites, bridges, cafes, sandwich-stops, bar-grills, fishing/camp-grounds, shops, lodging, and wineries offered along the trail. Depending on your likes and wants, Hermann could be getting ready for their annual Oktoberfest then as well.

I agree too...the Rocheport area is my favorite part of the trail as well. Just don't forget to take the short ride west of the Rocheport TH to see the old train tunnel before heading east.
