With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Ogallala, 50 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Lake Ogallala, Cowboy Museum and Front Street. Don’t skip Sterling either! Just 50 miles away, Sterling Overland Trail Museum, Columbine Park and Riverview Golf Club are must-sees here.
