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 area also serves as a snow park, with regular use by snowmobilers and cross country skiers.
Civilian Conservation Corps constructed features (log fence, rock wall); variety of plant communities, good birdwatching opportunities. This is a short, easy hike; great for kids, or a break from traveling.
