There are a ton of great mountain bike trails near St Louis, but I’ve never been on one that is really easy. Check out the GORC website: http://www.gorctrails.com/trails/ or try calling Big Shark http://bigshark.com/storelocator/big-sh … pany-1.htm and asking what they would recommend.
Just rode the Switchgrass trail. The expert loop is pretty challenging and the scenery is amazing. Definitely a must ride trail.
Your tires are probably fine but just inflated too high. Reduce your tire pressure to 30-35. You’ll have way more grip. Too low of tire pressure can cause pinch flats, so if you have a pinch flat, raise your tire pressure a couple of PSI.
The best way to know what works for you and your riding style is to try different bars. I started out riding riser bars, but I’ve been using straight bars for awhile now, I I find they give me more comfort and less twitchy control. Test out a couple bikes with riser bars at your local bike shop, and see what feels better.
