    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

  • 122717 NHTC Horse Trails.Pub
    First Edition January 2018 Horse Trails of Nebraska Ride with a Smile, A Light Hand & Gently on the Land Written and compiled by Tammy Vasa on behalf of the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee About this Publication Since the beginning of this millennium, I have been riding, writing about and promoting the horse trails of Nebraska though the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee and my own website, Horsetrailriders.com. More than just a fly-over state, Nebraska is rich history. The Pony Express, the Oregon and Mormon Trails, the Lewis and Clark expedition and home to many Native American tribes. It is not all amber waves of grain in the 37th largest state. Discover the Sandhills in north-central Nebraska and the Pine Ridge regions in the western part of our state. Climb the bluffs along the Missouri River and view the variegated fall colors. Ride through the country’s only man-made forest or you can literally follow the tracks of the covered wagons pass- ing though our state. Get off the interstate and into the saddle to see what Nebraska is really made of! This booklet has been years in the making. While it may seem like an easy project capturing all the trails in Nebraska, the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee wanted to provide more than just the name and location. Every time one of us would delve into the project, it became apparent that more research was necessary and perhaps we should ride the trails first and then report on them! We all agreed riding was much more fun.
