Omaha, NE
A nice overlook area with plenty of parking, picnic areas, and a great view of Omaha. Watch the planes take off and land at Eppley, or catch an Eagle at the right time of the year. Nice view of fall colors too.

Love a good view? The Lewis and Clark Monument is your spot.
Marvel at airplanes landing and taking off at Eppley Airfield just across the river, or admire the sweeping views of the Omaha/​Council Bluffs region. This is my favorite spot in town to catch a sunset, too. There is plenty of space to take a load off, relax and enjoy.
In addition to the views, there’s a bit of history to read up on. There are picnic tables for packed edibles, and newer restrooms. Also, there are walking trails nearby; pack walking shoes to make visiting the monument a true excursion.
Perhaps my 4-​star rating is rooted in nostalgia, or I truly do appreciate this quiet spot set in the elevations of Council Bluffs. My recommendation is to pack a lunch, eat and enjoy the view, then take a little hike. Bring your camera, too, especially if it’s fall.
