Welcome to the Heartland of Nebraska! Traveling 150 miles from Wood River to Dunning along Nebraska Highways 11 and 91, the Loup Rivers Scenic Byway follows the river valleys of the Loup Basin to the beauty of the Sandhills.
The late Charles Kuralt called Nebraska's Highway 2 "one of the most beautiful highways".
