Written Directions

Take your best route to House Springs, MO, then to the intersection of Gravois Rd (Hwy MM) and Hillsboro-House Springs Rd (approx. 0.x miles east of the intersection of MO-30 and Hwy MM). Head south on Hillsboro-House Springs Rd for 5.3 miles, then turn right to stay on Hillsboro-House Springs Rd for another 7 miles. The route ends at the MO-21/Hwy A interchange just north of Hillsboro, MO.

Scenery

The route goes through mid-rural Jefferson County, MO, The route is mostly wooded and hilly, going past farms and subdivision enclaves. The beginning part of the route parallels Bourne Creek, before climbing out of the creek valley and into the higher parts of the hills, offering good views of the surrounding valleys.

Drive Enjoyment

The route is a well maintained county road, with a combination of asphalt and chip-and-seal pavement. The route is mostly gentle curves and rolling elevation changes, with short straight sections, although there are a few tight, technical turns that you should be prepared for.

Tourism Opportunities

While there is nothing of major interest along the route itself, both House Springs and Hillsboro, the two ends of the route, have numerous restaurants and small shops. Hillsboro is also the county seat of Jefferson County, and the route ends just south of Jefferson College.

This road is a frequent part of rides in the St. Louis area, and is a good sample of riding in mid Jefferson County.
