In a far distant past, what we know as Nebraska hosted savannahs whose rich
vegetation and water gave nourishment to a myriad of strange creatures. The
Rocky Mountains uplift, ice, volcanic ash and blowing sand helped structure what
we see today.
Trip Guide and River Maps
........................................................................ 13
The river map and self-guided tour are included in this section. Beginning
just below the Cornell Dam, the maps will guide you to waterfalls, over rapids,
around corners to hiking trails and under bridges while providing a brief look
at historical events, places, people, birds and animals. The maps have been
color-coded to assist in locating restrooms, campgrounds, concessions and more.
A list of Outfitters and other camping facilities are included.
