The trailway is a great
place for hiking, biking & horseback riding and it runs 64.25 miles through
Floyd, Briscoe, and Hall Counties. It winds through cultivated fields of the
Texas High Plains, drops into rugged canyons of the Caprock Escarpment, and
continues down into the famous Red River Valley. A unique feature along the
trail near the Escarpment is a 742 foot abandoned railroad tunnel which is on
the National register of Historic places as one of only a few such tunnels in
Texas. Originally it was the second longest train tunnel in Texas. For
