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.
Located from central Nebraska west to the northern Panhandle, into southwestern South Dakota, and on east to the state's center, lies the Nebraska National Forest. Representing a cross section of the northern Great Plains ecosystems are three National Grasslands, the Buffalo Gap, and Fort Pierre (pronounced peer), in South Dakota, and the Oglala, which along with two National Forests, the Nebraska and Samuel R. McKelvie, are in Nebraska.
