Ride the nation's longest Rail-to-Trail and let Crossroads Bike Tours do the planning. This 235-mile crushed limestone trail takes you across Missouri from farm fields to river towns to wine country and ends in Historic St. Charles.
All tours travel West to East, check out our videos below on why this is the best direction. We meet our guests in St. Charles at 8:00am, where you are 15 minutes from St. Louis Airport (STL). We then shuttle you to your starting destination where you begin your ride. If you are driving from the West, you may prefer to park your car and start in Clinton. This will save you over 7 hours of driving. Let us know you want to park in Clinton, and we will adjust the tour accordingly.
All tours are available April through October for individuals to large groups. Late June through August can be hot on the trail, so plan to ride in the early morning. If our listed dates don't meet your schedule, then call our office 314-656-6229 or send an INQUIRY for dates that work for you.

The Katy trail is all crushed limestone surface from end to end. Built on abandoned rail beds this surface is compact but if heavy rains, can be soft. We recommend 28MM width tires or wider.
We start our tours in St. Charles, MO where we pick you up and shuttle you to your start city. If you are driving from the West then you might want to start in Clinton, MO. Park your car in Clinton and ride the trail. Then spend the night in St. Charles the last day of your tour before being shuttled back to Clinton at 8:00am the following Day
Our shuttle picks up at 8:00am in St. Charles for all Self-guided tours. We pick up in the large city lot behind Country Inn and Suites, 1190 S. Main St., St. Charles. Park near the white gazebo because that is where we will have the shuttle van and trailer in the morning. The St. Louis airport (STL) is a 10-minute Uber ride from Country Inn in St. Charles and the pick-up point.
Our Self-guided tours include your accommodations at great providers, shuttle to the starting city, GPS mapping and voice directions, electronic itinerary with restaurants recommendations and e-charging locations, themed t-shirt and patch.
You can also add luggage shuttle, bike rentals (hybrid, gravel and e-bike) and extra hotel nights before or after your tour.
The trails are open all year, however the water is turned on at trailheads April through October. We find the best time to ride is Mid-May to Mid-June and Mid-September through Mid-October.
We have planned our start dates so you will have most of the restaurants open during your ride. If you would like to start on another day, just email or fill out our "Contact" information and let us know what day you prefer. We will work to make your tour happen.
