Follow This Abandoned Railroad Trail For One Of The Most Unique Hikes In Nebraska
Abandoned railroad corridors all over the state have been transformed into hiking/biking trails that allow visitors to experience the loveliest parts of Nebraska. This particular trail has a fascinating history that predates even the railroad. Follow along to discover this beautiful part of Nebraska nature and history.
Chief Standing Bear Trail is a walking/hiking/biking trail that stretches between Beatrice and the Nebraska/Kansas border.
The 23-mile trail roughly follows the route that the Ponca people were forced to walk in 1877 from their homeland in Nebraska to a "resettlement" area in Oklahoma.
The sights along this lovely trail are unlike any other in the state. This is one of the prettiest and most historically significant hikes Nebraska has to offer, and one that everyone should visit at least once. Find out more about this unique trail right here.
