Panorama Point, Nebraska

On 23 September 2016, I drove to Panorama Point, the highpoint of Nebraska. It is 5,424 feet / 1,653 metres above sea-level. Although it’s simply a point on plains that were formerly all covered by prairie grass, Nebraska’s highpoint is – almost amazingly – the 20th highest of the fifty US state highpoints (higher, for instance, than peaks as prominent and as difficult as New York’s Mt Marcy and Maine’s Mt Katahdin). Nebraska's Panorama Point was the 38th US state highpoint I'd climbed or visited.
