One of our hikers from Omaha, NE, sent along a cool video that you can view on YouTube. It's a flyover along the route of the trail in Chippewa County. Here's the link:

If you have trouble watching it (it doesn't download fast enough), then try to download it first.
The video was made as a class project at Creighton Prep. The teacher is Jon Krainak, and he'll be backpacking here in April. Very cool.
(The heron won't even notice you're aboard.)
