This partially-vacant strip mall, formerly home of Sports Authority, is a convenient
parking spot for the northern part of the trail.
Grants Trail crosses Watson immediately
east of the strip mall, and curves directly behind the mall.
The Applebee's restaurant is a great place to grab a meal after your ride.
Side trip:
Historic Sappington Cemetery, established in 1811, is located on Watson road 2/10 of a mile west
(toward Crestwood Plaza) from where the trail crosses Watson.
If you're interested in old cemeteries, you'll also find Father Dickson Cemetery
along the trail.
