Traveling across the Great Western Trail typically took several weeks, depending on factors such as the specific route, weather conditions, and the size of the cattle herd. Most cattle drives along the trail, which spanned approximately 1,500 miles from Texas to Wyoming, lasted around two to three months. The duration was influenced by the pace of travel, which averaged about 10 to 15 miles per day.

The Great Western Cattle Trail and the Chisholm Trail are both historic cattle-driving routes in the United States. The Great Western Cattle Trail runs from Texas through Oklahoma and into Kansas, primarily following a route west of the Chisholm Trail. In contrast, the Chisholm Trail runs from the Texas cattle ranches, through Oklahoma, and to Abilene, Kansas, located further east. On a map, you can find both trails stretching northward from Texas, with the Chisholm Trail being the more eastern route and the Great Western Trail more to the west.
