| The Ulysses S. Grant Trail is developed on an old
rail corridor in South St. Louis County along I-55. The area is surprisingly
rural in spots, considering it is 5 minutes from South County Shopping Center.
The paved trail is 8 miles long at present. The trail passes by the Ulysses S.
Grant Historical Site, Anheuser-Busch's Grant's Farm, and St.
Louis County's White Cliff Park, which makes for a nice rest stop. |
