Since it is closer to the South than some Midwestern states, you can expect a hot, humid climate throughout most of the spring, summer and fall in Missouri. Don't forget your breathable riding gear if you're hitting MO in the dog days of summer. Camping is a popular activity in Missouri, so now is the time to build out your motorcycle camp kit if you haven't already.

In fact, Missouri has experienced some of the most deadly tornadoes in US history. So keep an eye on your REVER weather alerts should the skies turn gray.
Any visit to Missouri should start with an exploration of the towns and hills along the Mississippi River. St. Louis is an excellent staging point for motorcycle riding in Missouri, and you can explore the waterfront and catch some nightlife at Laclede's Landing. Across the state, Kansas City is a gem of the Midwest with world class attractions like the National WWI Museum and the Negro Leagues Museum. Of course, you'll want to try some signature Kansas City BBQ while you're there. But wait, isn't Kansas City in Kansas? A portion of the city is, but the downtown area is actually in Missouri. Outside of these cities, the Missouri Ozarks feature stunning beauty you won't want to miss. Hike scenic locations like Elephant Rocks and Johnson's Shut-Ins when you need a break from the road, or cool down at the iconic roadside attraction of Meramec Caverns. Then explore the ruins of a failed stone mansion at Ha Ha Tonka State Park. While you're in the Ozarks, you won't want to miss the one-of-a-kind vibe in Branson. This entertainment capital of the Midwest has to be seen to be believed.
This route follows the Missouri River from the outskirts of St. Louis to Columbia via Jefferson City.
