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 trail travels along Myrtle Creek for 8.6 miles. Myrtle Creek provides good small stream fishing and wildlife viewing. Canyon scenery may also be seen.
