You'll glide along a smooth, paved path, enjoying diverse scenery that includes pine and oak forests, open canopies, and even old rock cuts. Keep an eye out for the famous Budweiser Clydesdales as you pass Grant's Farm, a definite highlight of this route, which also features a boardwalk over a wetland area.
This 16.2-mile (26.1 km) loop, with a gentle 356 feet (108 metres) of elevation gain, is rated easy and takes about 1 hour and 3 minutes to complete. It's an ideal choice for beginner road cycling or families, offering a low-key workout or a leisurely outing. The trail is well-maintained, with multiple access points and amenities like restrooms and water fountains along its course.
Beyond its natural beauty, Grant's Trail is rich in history, named after Ulysses S. Grant and running past his former home, White Haven. Built on a former railroad right-of-way, its flat terrain makes it accessible for all. The trail also connects to various communities and other greenways, serving as a vital car-free space for recreation and transportation in the St. Louis area.
