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.
With Colorado's highest peaks on all sides, this aptly named road travels right through the center of the Rocky Mountains. The Top of the Rockies byway crosses the Continental Divide twice as it travels south along the spine of North America. The scenery is spectacular and the well-maintained road is kept open year-round.
