Claiming to be the longest rail-to-trail conversion in the nation, the Cowboy Trail stretches over 300 miles across Nebraska. Currently, the more developed portion runs from the city of Norfolk to Valentine - lining nearly 200 miles. If desired, one could make the journey between the two cities into one long adventure. The trail mostly consists of crushed limestone so mountain or hybrid bikes with puncture-proof tires are recommended. One will experience Nebraska's open landscape while traveling along relatively flat terrain, across many bridges, and through various small towns. There is a shuttle option if one has two vehicles. It is a multi-use trail, so be courteous of others.
