What’s your definition of the Wild West? Rodeos? We’ve got ‘em. Visit Crawford over the Fourth of July for the third oldest PRCA rodeo in Nebraska – the Old West Trail Rodeo. Add more western fun at the Sioux County Fair rodeos in Harrison or the Senior Pro Rodeo in Crawford. Quirky events? Check out the World Championship Buffalo Chip Throw during Fur Trade Days in Chadron, the Rubber Check Race during the Dawes County Fair or hog wrestling at both the Sioux and Dawes county fairs. Little to no pavement? We got you! With 1,300 miles of gravel and natural earth roads, Northwest Nebraska’s Roads Less Traveled trips get you off the highway and onto the backroads. Keep an eye peeled for beautiful scenery, wildlife and explore out-of-the-way attractions. Bonus: The routes are great drives but also fantastic gravel grinding options if you prefer two wheels. Frontier History? That’s here, too. Explore the Museum of the Fur Trade or pay your respects at Fort Robinson State Park, where Crazy Horse was killed and the Cheyenne Outbreak took place.
