@allen63.bsky.social Lost Valley Trail in the Weldon Spring Conservation Area of St Charles CO in MO is a pretty nice mixed use trail. Was hiking it today, but shared it with the MTB crowd who seemed to be enjoying it too. Little under 12 miles-moderate terrain. 600' elevation gain.

@allen63.bsky.social Lewis and Clark Trails in St Charles county's Weldon Springs (Missouri) area are a pretty awesome mix of woodlands with some nice overlooks of the Missouri River. Choice of a 5+ or 8+ mile trail. Can be muddy. Moderate to challenging difficulty. Can be busy on nice weekends.
