Trails Across Missouri: The Katy Trail and Rock Island
$40.00
Join us on a photographic exploration of Missouri’s landscape and learn how the incomparable trail system of Missouri came to be! Missouri has something no other state does — a cross-state pathway, America’s longest rail/trail, connecting its two largest urban areas. Often running next to America’s longest river —the Missouri — through miles of farmland and past old railroad towns, the Katy and Rock Island trails currently traverse more than 280 miles, with another 140 to be built. Trails Across Missouri is a story of history, landscape and perseverance. Trails chronicles these pathways with original photography and a discussion of how they create recreational opportunities and economic activity, providing those who use them with a connection to the land.
