THE KATY TRAIL Day 3:Franklin to Jefferson City Missouri, Bike Touring America's Longest Rail Trail
Day 3 of Bike Touring The Katy Trail in Missouri, one of America’s best long-distance rail trails. The Katy Trail stretches 240 miles from Clinton to Machens, Missouri. It also holds the title of America’s longest continuous rail-trail. We pack up at Katy Roundhouse Campground in New Franklin to bike tour to Jefferson City. Watch cycling through the Rocheport Tunnel, exploring the town of Rocheport, viewing the dolemite cliffs including Grand Bluff. We also pass the Columbia MKT Connector Trail before reaching North Jefferson City to follow a route to Jefferson City. Instead of a primitive camp at Noren Access to stay at the Baymount Inn. Check out what we encountered that September day.

This is one of my favorite stretches of the Katy as you get a long ride along the Missouri River right along the trail. Love the Rocheport tunnel it is a nice surprise.

One more thing about the Rocheport tunnel, it was the site of the Manitou Bluff. When Lewis and Clark came through, it was painted with Native American images.
One of the best vids I have seen ..and yes..have seen alot. Contemplating the Katy Trail. Well done. Thoroughly enjoying your vids.

@@DeniseLookingOut I enjoyed all of it, really is a super nice trail for the entire length. If I had to pick just one section though, the parts with the bluffs on the left and river on the right were a favorite!

Hopefully next time you start in Kansas City, follow the Rock Island Trail to the Katy and experience the entire State.
