It’s truly wild out here: Rugged bluffs rise from the land, turning wide-open spaces into shared national treasures.
WHAT TO DO At Panorama Point and Three-State Marker in Kimball, you can look out on Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado. Connecting with the Nebraska National Forest Pine Ridge District, Chadron State Park in Chadron offers more than 100 miles of trails to explore. Nebraska’s first state park also features an archery range, disc golf, guided horseback riding, campgrounds and cabins. Shop wool yarns at the Brown Sheep Company Mill outlet shop near Mitchell. Relive the frontier days of the Old West at Dobby’s Frontier Town in Alliance. Climb the lighthouse steps for a panoramic view at Lake Minatare State Recreation Area in Minatare.
WHERE TO STAY Overnight your horse or try birdwatching at Sheepwagon Hideouts near Chadron. Enjoy a homey stay at Grandma Lala’s B&B in Alliance. For horseback riding, hunting and a taste of ranch life, stay in a cozy cabin on the Ponderosa Ranch in Crawford.
WHERE TO EAT Try the ever-changing menu at the Tangled Tumbleweed in Scottsbluff. Head to Laura Lee’s Double L Country Store and Cafe near Harrisburg for irresistible home cooking. Arrive early to Kimball Bakery and Merrycakes — these doughnuts and treats go fast. Nachos, ribs, burgers and Nebraska steaks — find all that and more at The Steel Grill Steakhouse & Bar in Gering.
WHERE TO DRINK You and your crew can gather for a round (or two or three) of awardwinning brews at Brewery 719 in Alliance. At Flyover Brewing Company in Scottsbluff, craft beers (made with Nebraska malt) pair well with woodfired pizzas. Find the pick-me-up you need at Mark Ferrari Specialty Coffees in Oshkosh. Order a specialty drink and take home a bag — all of the coffees in this shop are Nebraska-roasted.
