Because it spans nearly the length of Missouri, the famous Katy Trail beckons hikers of all ages and skill levels. But most of us don’t have time to hike the entire trail in one epic adventure. Fortunately, we can explore this unique trail by hiking sections of it.

If you're up for a relatively short but sweet adventure, set off on the 7.6-mile Dutzow to Augusta (or vice-versa) segment of the Katy Trail.
