With its rich, flat, fertile plains, Nebraska is perfect farming country. Vast tracts of what was once prairie grassland are now ranches and farmland, although a few protected areas survive; in the west, some 3,000 acres surround the imposing, 244-metre sandstone escarpment of Scotts Bluff. Now the domain of walkers, cyclists and picnickers, it used to be an important landmark on the pioneer trails that criss-crossed the state. Nebraska’s two major cities are both in the east.
The largest, Omaha, has an excellent zoo and renowned community theatre. Downtown, the brick-paved streets of the historic Old Market district are lined with restaurants, shops, museums and art galleries. Some 100km southwest is the capital, Lincoln, with its grand State Capitol building, scattering of museums and plethora of city parks – there are more than 100. Midway between the two cities is the massive Strategic Air & Space Museum, where tourists gape at the gleaming aircraft and queue to take their turn on the Desert Storm simulator.
