Gallagher Canyon State
Recreation Area
South-central Nebraska
Want to get off the beaten path
and enjoy a beautiful spot with
nobody else around? Gallagher
Canyon State Recreation Area is the
right spot for you.
"It's a truly unique area, and one
of my favorites to photograph," said
Geiser. "There are numerous birds,
deer and other animals around to
take photos of, as well as beautiful
sunrises and sunsets."
Niobrara State Park
Northeastern Nebraska
It's all about the big views at Niobrara State Park. The park is situated on a bluff overlooking the
confluence of the Missouri and Niobrara rivers. Photographers have found much to love about the
interplay of light between the water and the sky. Wildlife viewing is excellent here, too – you can spot
beaver, muskrat, mink, bald eagles, white-tailed deer and wild turkeys roaming through the park.
