20 days in Omaha, Salt Lake City & Denver Itinerary

There's still lots to do: try to win big at Horseshoe Council Bluffs, admire the masterpieces at Joslyn Art Museum, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, and look for all kinds of wild species at Desoto National Wildlife Refuge.
