As one of Nebraska's biggest cities, Omaha has its share of urban sprawl, but spend a little time in town and find museums, pleasant parks, plenty of places to tuck into for an Omaha steak and somewhat unexpectedly, an indoor rainforest.
Hiker will follow Bear Creek up a gentle, sloping climb through meadows and patches of aspen and fir to the divide. Scattered springs will increase the chances of spotting the occasional elk and deer and if the hiker will watch very closely, there may be an occasional coyote.
