The Cowboy Trail, stretching 321 miles across northern Nebraska, is picturesque and historic. Relatively flat—it’s easily walked or bicycled—the trail follows the old Cowboy Line, used by the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley and later the Chicago & North Western Railroads between 1870-1992. Beginning in Norfolk, it extends to Chadron in the northwest. Glimpses of history between locales make this a terrific guide for trail enthusiasts.
