I have to laugh when I hear people say that there is nothing in Nebraska. I hear comments such as there are only rocks, grass, and Omaha. They absolutely couldn’t be more wrong! Nebraska’s beauty and wonders will absolutely blow you away and here are 16 of them to top the list.

1. Fort Robinson State Park, Harrison, NE

2. Omaha skyline at night, Omaha, NE

3. Holy Family Shrine, Gretna, NE

4. Fort Falls, Valentine, NE

5. The Sunken Gardens, Lincoln, NE

6. Courthouse & Jail Rocks located near Bridgeport, NE

7. Oglala National Grassland, Harrison, NE

11. Nebraska State Capitol otherwise known as, "The Skyscraper of the Plains", Lincoln, NE

12. Cowboy Trail located in northern Nebraska

13. Omaha Cathedral, Omaha, NE
