Off The Beaten Path: Get higher than anyone in Nebraska
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can find them on any road map - the highest point for any State. Panorama Point at 5424 feet is the highest point in Nebraska and offers a nice view of the Western Nebraska high plains and on a clear day, the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It's a drive more than a hike on private property. The landowners are kind enough to keep access open to the public - however they do charge 2 dollars for a car to pass onto the land. Payable at the self-serve paystation at the gate (bring a pen).

    Directions -

    - Leave I-80 on US 30 to enter the town of Pine Bluff (north side of I-80).
    - Go south on Beech Street, which is on the east side of town. This is county road #164.
    - Pass under I-80 and go about 9(?) miles to road #203 leaving left (east).
    - Follow this road, which jogs south and becomes road #6, for 3.4 miles.
    - Turn right (south) on road #5 and go 2.0 miles.
    - The dirt road to Panorama Point leaves right (west), just a hair north of the Colorado state line. You can drive the 1.3 miles to Panorama Point (perfectly passable).

     It's great to see Kimball, and especially Panorama point on VT. I visited the point several years ago on a quest to hike to the highest peak in every state. Only completed 38 of them so far.
