Let Crossroads Bike Tours plan your Self Guided Katy Tour. Your tour price includes your room, shuttle to beginning of the trail, breakfast each morning, guidebook highlighting restaurants and things to do on the trail, “Ride with GPS” route guide, up to date trail information on closures and detours, Katy T-shirt, and Patch. We also can provide luggage shuttle, bike rentals and extra night hotel accommodations.
All tours travel West to East, check out our video why this is the best direction. We meet our guests in St. Charles, where you are 15 minutes from St. Louis Airport. We then shuttle you to your destination on the first day. 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. You will need to purchase an "Extra" "hotel after your tour" to spend the night in St. Charles and then the next day catch the 8am shuttle to Clinton. We can also get a room for you in Clinton the day before the tour - call or inquire for pricing.
We utilize the best local hotels and B&B's to ensure you have an awesome experience. Our lodging is on the trail or a short ride along dedicated paths or wide road shoulders. (Jefferson City and Hermann). All tours are available April through October for individuals to large groups. Late June through August can be hot on the trail, plan to ride in the early mornings.
If our dates don't meet your schedule then call our office 314-656-6229 or send an INQUIRY for dates that work for you.

On last day of trip your bags will be in St. Charles around 1:30pm for your planning purposes.
Need a bike rental for the trail? We have hybrid bikes for $75/day, gravel bikes for $80/day and e-bikes for $100/day - Weekly reduced rates available.

Below are the elevations (altitudes) for towns along the Katy Trail. As you can see, there is some variation in the western section, and then a gradual decline heading eastward from Boonville where the trail runs alongside the Missouri River. Thanks to Gary Irwin for providing this chart.
