Big Trees @ Ogallala Rest Area on I-80 West - Ogallala, NE, USA

Once back on I-80 West, we stopped at Ogallala Rest Area. Ogallala was the Cowboy Capital of Nebraska because it was the northern terminus of the Texas Trail. As a result, it was a shipping point for Texas Longhorns and a gateway to the ranges of the Northern Plains.

  • The "Up/Over" sculpture by Linda Howard is one of 10 sculptures commissioned for Nebraska's celebration of America's bicentennial in 1976.
  • Once almost entirely covered by buffalo grass, this region nourished the American bison for millennia. Characterized by limited rainfall and swept by strong winds, this has become a land of broad wheat fields and sprawling cattle ranges. By 1882, over two hundred thousand cattle pastured here.
