Are you kidding

This trail is a disgrace. We rode on fully suspended mountain bikes and had to have our teeth reset after 42 miles. They have cut ALL of the tree cover away so farmers can use the land 3 foot from the trail. No wind block....More

Really nice trail

This is a great, wide trail, away from the highway. It has a nice view and goes a long way! My sons and I walked from our hotel for an hour or so. Great!

Disused railway bridge gives commanding view of valley & Niobrara River.

Don't be confused by the signs on hwy 20 pointing to "Historic Bridge". Those signs refer to another bridge, Bryan's Bridge, which is a steel arch road bridge, unremarkable in appearance. Instead, look for the carpark with the large "Welcome to Valentine" sign. The old...More

BEAUTIFUL

This is a must see if you're in the area. It's approximately 400 yards from the parking lot, but worth the walk. The views are breathtaking.

Loving the trail

We've biked from 3 locations, O'Neil, Bassett and Valentine. All great trailheads. Bridge at Valentine is spectacular. Free RV parking in Bassett at fairgrounds with electric. Dump & water available. Trail in great condition, wide and very little grade change. Easy riding!

Awesome bridge, fun stop for the kids.

The kids loved this bridge even though we stopped by in the cold wind. The parking lot is easy to find and has a huge Welcome to Valentine sign in it. The walk to the bridge seemed like it took 10 minutes with the youngest...More

Not a short walk

Difficult to get good photos from/of the trestle bridge, which was iron, not wood like we expected. Kinda disappointing.

Cowboy trail

We started at the spot located right outside of Valentine and walked over the bridge there. It has amazing view of the countryside and is well worth the effort. It would be a long walk for most children. But for walkers, runner, hikers, and bikers...More

My mother-in-law and her husband hiked it for 13 days… Staying in tents and then when they made it to towns stayed in motels and or pitched a tent in city parks/bathrooms. They only ran across people who were willing to... More
