Thanks in advance,

May (entire month is good), or move on to Autumn (October). The KATY can be done during all of the months of summer, but it gets not just hot, but REALLY humid during the summer. Pretty serious climatizing is pretty much mandatory if doing the trail in the middle of summer. Enjoy the Voyage.....Mark of the Dalton Boys

I second Mark's suggestions. Late September and October are my favorites, because you have nice weather and fall colors. Summer's great but you must be prepared for the heat. The Katy Trail Weather Guide page gives more details about temperature ranges and precipitation throughout the year.

We have also had good luck with the weather in May--but rain is always a possibility in the Spring. June is variable--can be nice or VERY hot and humid.

I like June, September & October best. April/May is severe weather season (tornados & thunderstorms), but if the weather is good it is a fine time to ride. I don't really mind July and August either, but I'm used to Missouri summers and I like to ride when its hot.
