Hidden away from the world in Nebraska are many amazing places, things to see, and stuff to do. Whether you're a fan of the natural world or prefer to stay within city limits, there's something for everyone here. Nebraska is a hidden gem through and through, and its hiking trails are an idyllic example of this.

The Schramm Park State Recreation Area is an amazing little respite from the real world that you can visit - and hike - year-round. My favorite times to hike tend to be in the spring and early summer (and autumn, of course), but this is a great destination for outdoorsy things to do in the winter, too. As luck would have it, there are plenty of hiking trails around here, too - perfect for killing a whole afternoon somewhere inescapably beautiful.

Coming in at just over two miles in length, the wondrous Schramm Park Nature Loop is mostly easy and takes about an hour (unless you opt to stop along the way, which I highly recommend). There's plenty of shade, but be sure to bring water anyway, even if it's not hot out. Hydration is key, friends!

It's tough to understate the adventure this trail is. Surrounded by lush green leaves from trees and bushes of all sorts, this amazing hike features an awesome footbridge, a hanging bridge, a lake, a fish hatchery, and more. It's a whole day trip rolled into a short hike, and it's no secret as to why some folks keep returning. It's an amazingly peaceful place, and the opportunities to clear your mind are bountiful. There are lots of hiking trails in Nebraska, but there's something especially wonderful about this one specifically.

It's easy to get lost here, but don't worry - follow the trail, and you won't get literally lost, even though this fascinating little park definitely feels like something all the way away from it all. It's not, though - it's located in the small town of Gretna, Nebraska, and it's an amazing way to get out and enjoy the world around you without roaming too far.

With so many little offshoots and sub-trails to explore, it's easy to immerse yourself in this one all day, and I wouldn't blame you. Nebraska is beautiful, and it never seems to get the credit it so rightly deserves. Where most people see something boring, I see something incredible, and with every hike, I hope you can fall in love with the Cornhusker State just a little more and more. Soon enough, you'll wonder why you ever wanted to leave.

If you're serious about hiking and are looking for a handy tool to make it easier, check out AllTrails Plus. I don't know what I did before it. Seriously, it's great - and very helpful. For one of the best hikes in Nebraska, this iconic hike is a must, showing off all the wonder and beauty our weird little state has to offer.
