Niobrara

Last weekend we went to the Niobrara river. It was wonderful! Mom hadn't been in that part of the state in over 10 years, and she had never canoed it, so we decided it was time. We rented a cabin at Sunny Brook Campground just south of Sparks, NE. It was a little rustic for mom, but she did great (no running water or bathrooms, oops, next time I'll ask...). We drove through the wildlife refuge on our way to the campground and saw lots of Bison. Then on Saturday a trip to Smith Falls, the largest waterfall in NE, and onto our canoeing adventure. We saw many smaller waterfalls, a few people at the beginning of our trip, and mom paddled through a class II rapid (and many smaller ones). We spent the rest of the time by the campfire and even listened to the Nebraska game for awhile. Here are some pics from our adventure.
