I've not ridden this trail, but I know from riding other trails (e.g. Great Allegheny Passage, C&O canal towpath) that the right tires can make a substantial difference in the experience. Does this trail require full mountain bike tires due to the soft gravel, or would a faster tire (e.g. 35mm Schwalbe Marathon) be better?

Again, don't waste precious vacation time on this trail! There are so many well maintained trails to choose from. It doesn't matter what tires you use, you will end up riding the nearby roads.

Sounds like the State should be paving the trail instead of using this lame "crushed crap" on the trail. Half of the trail isn't completed, and the part that is, no one can ride on. I had such high hopes for this trail years back. Why won't the State of Nebraska do something?! They are really missing the boat on this Cowboy Trail. Sad.
