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.
Heading west across
Sarcobatus Flats, the road forks in 12
miles to Strozzi Ranch on the left, and to
Phinney Canyon on the right. Pinyon
pine woodlands appear after the canyon
is entered, and the road quickly becomes
4x4. From the pass there are views of
the Grapevine Mountains high country
and glimpses of the Sierra Nevada
Range.
