Road Scenery: 
|
|
Leaving
south from St. Louis you quickly hit 2 lane winding road
with a relaxed feel. Many turn-offs allow exploring the
start of the Missouri ozarks. Elephant Rock State Park and
a few miles further Johnsons' Shut-ins State Park are great
place to relax and hike or take a dip in the river.

Road Quality: 
|
|
Just
outside St. Louis the road has a bit of traffic. But after
that it thins out and the road has a nice number of turns
and elevation changes. Got to watch a few of the turns as
you never know what's stopped ahead.

Roadside Amenities:

Small
town diners and ice cream shops along the way. And as always
a bar or two.

The
route starts on hwy 21 in the south west part of St Louis
(near towns like Arnold or Mehlville). I suggest you get
on I-270 and take exit #2 (Tesson Ferry Road/Highway 21)
and take Highway 21 south. The route starts as you pass
through
Paulina Hills, MO and continues south as you pass through
Hillsboro, through Washington State Park, through Potosi,
Belleview, and ends at Elephant
Rock State Park. You can continue if you like what you've
seen so far, down to Johnsons'
Shut-ins state park.
