Here's a useful guide on the best sites in Nebraska.
WITNESS THE WONDER.
6000 years before Native Americans began settling Nebraska, glaciers gouged sprawling canyons and rock formations from the land and left behind breathtaking mesas, hills, valleys, basins, plains, and caves.
Whether you kick back and relax, bike, ride horses, hike, or even skydive, Nebraska's diverse scenery and multitude of trails (scroll down) have something for everyone.
AMAZE YOUR SENSES.
Autumn is the best times to plan your trip to "The Good Life" state. Nebraska's majestic hard wood forests make for awe-inspiring fall foliage. The best place to catch this remarkable display is at any of Nebraska's many state parks (scroll down.)
LIVE THE ADVENTURE.
Cutting through the golden plains and undulating hills are hundreds of miles of rivers and lakes, allowing for endless air boating, fishing, tubing, jet skiing, or swimming. Many of Nebraska's state parks are located on the shores of glistening fresh water lakes, making the possibilities endless.
EXPLORE RICH CULTURE.
Follow in the footsteps of great adventurers like Lewis & Clark, the Plains Indians, and riders of the Pony Express. Relive the captivating history of Nebraska by living it yourself: take a tour of paths traveled by these monumental pioneers.
STAY CONNECTED.
Looking to dive into a bustling metropolitan area? Check out Omaha, Nebraska's largest city.
Omaha is teeming with music and entertainment, home to critically acclaimed musicians of alternative, jazz, and blues. You can catch a show at any of Omaha's great music venues.
Enjoy nature from the confines of the city: make the world's largest indoor rainforest one of your stops, housed inside the Henry Doorly Zoo.
Visit Nebraska even when you're on a budget. Feeling a road trip? Nebraska is easily accessed by many national highways. With flights starting at $130, you won't have to rule out flying either.
Hotels start at a dirt-cheap $51, and most state parks offer lodging bundles. Even if you're scraping the barrel, Nebraska is covered in sublime natural beauty, free to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteYou got it "right" so often that I don't want to sully things by asking questions here. I'll, instead, build that into our next couple of classes. (+)
ReplyDeleteVisually you nailed it. I think the pictures really showcased what Nebraska has to offer. I also really like how you highlighted specific things.
ReplyDeleteGood Job :)
