Explore the journey — one trail, museum, meal, and memory at a time.
Frisco Highline Trail – Springfield, Missouri
Starting from Springfield’s northwest trailhead, I rode the Frisco Highline Trail, a 35-mile rail-to-trail conversion that follows the historic Frisco Railroad. From paved sections to rugged stone, from Halloween decorations to a steady headwind, the day offered everything I love about cycling—history, landscape, and the people you meet along the way.
Katy Trail – Rocheport, Missouri
My overnight at the Rocheport trailhead led to a 60-mile ride on the iconic Katy Trail—through tunnels, past river bluffs, and alongside friendly strangers. From early-morning owls to the kindness of fellow riders, the day reminded me why this 240-mile Missouri treasure is more than just a bike path—it’s a journey through time, nature, and community.
