Nebraska Motorcycle Roads and Trips

Most of Nebraska's (NE) scenery is prairie with the elevation of the state rising upward as you start at the Missouri river in the east and move your way to the west towards Colorado and Wyoming. An exception to the Corn Husker State's monolithic prairie scenery is found in an area known as the Sand Hills. The Sand Hills lie in the north-central part of the state and comprise a region of sand dunes anchored by grasses that cover about 18,000 sq miles.

The Platte River Run (Aug 00)

… this ride follows the same path as the famous Oregon trail and if you get out and walk around at some of the parks along the route you will actually see wagon ruts left from all the pioneers heading west … scenery along this route is among the best in Nebraska
