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.
The East Steens Tour Route travels along the escarpment of Steens Mountain from Fields to Burns, passing by the Alvord Desert and Hot Springs. Closer to the towns of Crane and Burns is the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
