Nebraska is the Great Plains heartland of America, a vast state of sweeping prairies, towering sand dunes, and the legendary Oregon Trail. From the cosmopolitan culture of Omaha's Old Market to the state capitol in Lincoln, the dramatic Chimney Rock on the western horizon, and the wild Sandhills that shelter migrating cranes, Nebraska rewards curious travelers with genuine frontier spirit and uncrowded natural grandeur.
