Nebraska gets a bad rap, I think. Most people see Nebraska from Interstate-80 and come away thinking it's mind-numbingly flat and featureless. Well, maybe from Interstate-80, it is. However, the western panhandle features some beautiful sandstone and limestone hills and ranges, while the center of the state is home to the Sand Hills, the largest expanse of sand dunes in North America. There really is a lot to see if one takes the time to get off the Interstate. I spent a few days visiting the highpoints of these counties and had a wonderful time. Very beautiful, unique and remote places - Western Nebraska is a hidden gem for hikers of the out-of-the-way. I have no immediate plans for the rest of the state but someday I'll go back, I imagine. I still want to tackle more of the Sand Hills counties, at the least.
