| Back route to Walnut Grove | ugaritic | Sep 30th | United States > Missouri > Springfield | 40.5km | Low traffic, Safe, Rural, Scenic |
| Avoiding the trail except where paved in Willard, this route is probably the least hilly way to avoid HWY 123, take low traffic back routes, and make it from Springfield to Walnut Grove. It is out and back the same way (it looks different coming back), so call it 50 miles from Hillcrest Presbyterian Church. Call it 1271 feet of vertical (for the round trip). By the way, the Bikely tracker does not track the trail, but I use the paved portion through Willard, not the road. I add a few miles, and from my house it ends up being 60 miles.
