My husband and I are experienced bike touring folk and are looking to ride the KT east to west, the whole trail. Where is the best and safest place to park our vehicle on the east end long term? (Driving from Wisconsin) We would be going out and back so car would be there for about 2 weeks.

We parked at the Lewis and Clark Boathouse and Museum for about a week with no trouble. Seemed like a lot of traffic around and the police were hanging in the lot when parked.

I just noticed you said you were riding out and back. We picked up a rental van at the ST. Louis airport, dropped our car off at the museum and then drove the rental to Kansas City and turned it in as a one-way rental. It worked great.
I can see riding both directions and staying in towns that you missed going the other way. Twice the fun.

@Jack, so am I understanding you started from Kansas City and then rode east, back to your own car in St. Charles?
How did you get from Kansas City, MO to the start of the trail in Clinton? Thanks!
