Where can you park for 2 weeks or so to do a there and back along the entire trail? Happy to pay, just not sure of availability.

Trailheads, places of lodging that were patronized before or after your trip, etc.

Several years ago I did a ride on the Katy Trail and we ended up at the Country Inn and Suites in St. Charles. It was a very comfortable hotel and I am pretty sure they would work with you on the parking. If you spent your first night there, and they allow you to park your car there, you could start your trip in St. Charles, go as far as you desire and get a shuttle back to St.Charles.

Have a great ride, wherever you start and end.

Thanks, it just seems off to park at a trailhead and ride for 10 days or so without the car being towed.

That's what the trailheads are for, parking your car while riding the trail.

If you choose a larger trailhead like Sedalia leave your name and phone number, etc at the depot when you leave. Have done it several times and left the car for days without incident.

Most trailheads are in small towns. Folks there probably know someone is riding the trail and will return. No reason to tow your car.

What Cathy said...Stay at the Radisson Country Inn & Suites. Get your 26 miles out to Machens and back, then take off on your journey!
I'm sure the hotel will let you park there. They also have a covered garage.
