When you start at Council Bluffs, you can visit the Union Pacific Railroad Museum if you have a love for locomotives. You can also visit the Lewis and Clark Monument and Scenic Overlook if you wish to get a view of the Missouri River and the Loess Hills in the distance.
Just west of Crescent, you can see Fort Atkinson and the Fort Atkinson State Historical Park in the distance. If you are lucky enough, you may catch sight of re-enactors firing blanks with cannons at Fort Atkinson. You will find exhibits showing uniforms and rifles used during the period.
