A walk through Nebraska is scenic and spectacular no matter what season you're in. Winter offers an opportunity to explore the state in a different phase. Snowy and peaceful landscapes are calm settings for a hike, and keep an eye out for wildlife, including prime bald eagle viewing opportunities at several locations.
