Highlights

Two miles south of the Council Bluffs trailhead, the Wabash Trace crosses Pony Creek on a long, curving bridge. At the crossing of the West Nishnabotna River there are ruined boxcars lying in the river bed, some of them with wooden sides--remmants of a derailment that happened in the 1960's. Heading south out of Shenandoah the path follows the rocky ravine of Four Mile Creek.
