With nice bike trails, spectacular views of the river that Mark Twain loved, and nice towns dotting the expanse of this road, the Great River Road offers a nice family day trip or quick getaway from urban St. Louis. Crisp, sunny autumn days in Alton with the beautiful historic houses are definitely worth a trip!

Pros: Short drive from City, Beautiful Foliage, Tourist Info Center

Cons: Floods occassionaly, Some attractions busy, Some Railroads Nearby
