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.
This aptly named trail begins with an ascent to a ridgeline and a careful descent down the other side of the ridge, into a valley. There are a number of obstacles on the trail. Some, such as a sinkhole, simply need to be avoided while others, like the rockfall, are part of the appeal of the trail.

Basic Directions
From Colorado Springs
Go west on US Highway 24 through several towns until you reach the west end of Lake George.
Turn right onto CR-77 and continue for 10 miles.
If you drive through Tarryall, you've gone too far - the trail turn off is a half mile before Tarryall and is on the east side of CR-77.
Turn off at the road and continue up to the trailhead.
