Nebraska is full of stunning cities, towns, and landscapes praised by travelers around the world, so to be named the "best must-visit small town" in the entire state is a pretty big deal.

Be it close-knit community feels or bountiful local activities, something about this charming location landed it on Thrillist's list of the best small towns to visit across the country, and today, we're going to discuss why.

Per the list, the best small town to visit in Nebraska is Valentine. Valentine houses 2,633 people and is known for its stunning canyons, valleys, cliffs and, cabins!

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the best must-visit small town in the entire state:

"Locals compare this region to a rainforest misplaced in the Midwest plains. It's almost unfair to the rest of Nebraska how much of the state's natural beauty is concentrated in this town. Six, count 'em, six ecological systems mesh together along the Niobrara River. You’ll find sandstone canyons, cliffs, valleys, and Smith Falls State Park, home to the state's tallest waterfall. Or, run with the prairie dogs and bison in Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, or book a cabin at the Lord Ranch Resort and get the full cowboy tour package. Later, boot-scoot out of the 19th century and over to the Peppermill Restaurant, where you can get a fresh steak without looking it in the eye first."
