Take this route in reverce but start in Winfield Mo. Take Hwy 47 to Hwy W. Take W all the way to Clarksville Mo. to Hwy 79. Then finish your trip to Hannibal Mo. This will make for a great country ride. Spring and Fall are the best time to take this route.

rode route 79 from hannibal to cape girardeau to ozark beach to banson and can tell all they are great rides, rode from northern illinois to going to the sun road and back 4950 miles and nothing is as beautiful as the mountain to the northwest that is the best riding area in the united states.

I agree with extending the ride a tad and doing what "George" mentioned; Hwy W (from Winfield to Clarksville) is a fun addition to this route.

Highway 79 between Hannibal and Louisana has been CLOSED because of the road landsliding near the salt river and will NOT reopen in 2011. I live in Hannibal and the proposed new route for the highway will lose some of the best milage.

From Hannibal to Louisiana is a great ride in itself, I extended this onto Elsberry and then to MO W, onto KK into Troy. Had a great ride that day.

Best short segment ride in this area. Twisty, hilly, great views of the river, interspersed with pleasant valleys and small farms. Very little traffic, roads are good but watch for gravel in the corners.

This is one of the best roads i've ridden in Missouri. gotta watch out for the police in the little towns because when we rode through on a friday, they were all running radar. Even the towns with populations less than the speed limit seemed to have a police car

Did this stretch as part of a longer ride from St. Louis to Quincy, IL on the Missouri side, then back to St. Louis on the Illinois side. A very nice surprise along the way, as Hwy 79 is along the river flats south of Louisiana, MO, and you almost have to jump on US 61 north of Hannibal. It's a roller coaster ride amongst the Mississippi River bluffs, and a nice break from the river flats.

Nice road with nice views. 79 farther south is definitely worth it too.
