ROADS LESS TRAVELED
NOTE: Sowbelly Road, featured in this trip, is minimum maintenance and receives no snow removal. Road closed signs go up in the fall and stay well into spring when the last drifts finally melt, which is far later than on the surrounding plains. Please plan accordingly.
Discover Northwest Nebraska’s Pine Buttes and Grasslands Road Trip begins south of Crawford, Nebraska, near Fort Robinson State Park and takes adventurers west near Harrison, Nebraska, which at 4,876 feet above sea level is the state’s highest town. From there the trip heads north through one of the most picturesque and wild portions of the Pine Ridge and circles around back east through the expansive Oglala National Grassland and the unforgettable Toadstool Geological Park before returning to Crawford.
This trip is about 95 miles in length.
