Over the past 30 years, the Cowboy Recreation Nature Trail has been taking shape. When complete, the developing 317-mile trail will be a boon for tourism across Nebraska and provide quality-of-life benefits—connecting 30 rural communities, all four of the state’s distinct ecoregions, and the longest path along cross-country route of the @greatamericanrailtrail. Thanks to efforts of local groups like Cowboy Trail West, Inc., @nwnebraskatrails and @bikewalknebraska; @negameandparks; and volunteers
