Hello, I would like to come out and bike this trail soon, starting in Norfolk and riding west on the trail. I would be coming from out of state.

- If I flew out there what airport would I fly to?

- Are there places (Hotels) that are close to the trail head?

- When I got to the other end (Valentine) is my only option to rent a car and drive back to Norfolk?

- If I choose not to bring my bike, can I rent one in Norfolk?

Thank you

I think you may be in the wrong group. This group is for the Mickelson Trail in South Dakota. You seem to be referring to the cowboy trail located in Nebraska. I’ve read quite a few bad reviews about the cowboy trail because it is so incredibly rough that people choose to ride on the parallel highway instead. Although that really big bridge is supposed to be amazing.
I did the Mickelsen last year over a day and a half, maybe because I’m a glutton for punishment, but it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it. Good luck in your adventure, whatever it may be

MD, as Eric stated, you are thinking of the Cowboy Trail in Nebraska. Having ridden both of these trails in recent years, I STRONGLY recommend that you skip the Cowboy Trail and ride the Mickelson Trail. Everything about the Mickelson trail is better -- much, much better.
