When a nationally designated scenic river and wildlife refuge, Nebraska's tallest waterfall and an epic pedestrian path fall within the boundaries of where you're going, you know your vacation pics are going to look like a highlight reel. Welcome to Valentine, where outfitters can equip you to tube for a day or kayak overnight on the Niobrara National Scenic River. Where you can hike to that crashing waterfall inside Smith Falls State Park. Where you can discover a prairie-marsh ecosystem teeming with waterfowl and wildlife at Valentine National Wildlife Refuge. And where you can follow the Cowboy Trail for 195 miles by foot or bike.
