This is an amazing GEM just north of Omaha. Steep hikes but also easy ones. The ridge trail is one of the most amazing views to behold. Camping is cheap. A top experience in the area.

We just love this place. We go here 6 or 8 times a year to relax and enjoy the sunsets. Don't tell anyone else and spoil our solitude. Ha hq

I've been wanting to visit Hitchcock for a while and I'm glad we finally did. There are lots of great trails to explore - the are rated as easy, moderate and difficult, but they're all relatively easy since there isn't much elevation gain or varied terrain. Even though there was a lot of cars, we didn't see that many people while we were hiking. There are so many trails that its easy to stay pretty far from others. I didn't do much research, so I didn't realize it cost $5 to visit, but since the attendant was there I was able to pay with my card.

It's a beautiful place to hike!! Highly recommend!! They do a good job maintaining the trails. It's reasonable price for a day pass. I got the year pass for $20 because I try to go at least once a week. Pics are from my 7am hike today.

Yes you can. The boardwalk is one of the trails you can stay up on top of the ridges.
