Hike -Omaha Hiking Club Black Elk-Neihardt Park, Blair

Black Elk-Neihardt Park in Blair, is a city park named for Black Elk, an Oglala Lakota, and John G. Neihardt, Nebraska�?Ts Poet Laureate. The pastel illustrations in �?oBlack Elk Speaks�?� are translated by the late Thomsen, professor emeritus of art at Dana College into the mosaics featured in this park. The most prominent mosaic is on the Tower of the Four Winds. This 45-foot tower of Cor-Ten steel, which is illuminated at night, displays a colorful mosaic of approximately 50,000 pieces. Four smaller mosaics on pedestals represent Black Elk�?Ts descriptions of the four quarters of the world stand �?" in north, east, south, and west positions -- along a concrete path and a cottonwood tree (cottonwoods were considered sacred by the Lakota) grows near the center of this group. An Interpretive Garden at the base of the Tower of the Four Winds explains the symbolism in the pedestal mosaics and the Tower mosaic. Trails in the park include a paved trail, a wood chip trail, the Black Elk-Neihardt Nature Trail and grassy footpaths.Meet in the parking lot promptly at 9:30am and plan to be on the trail for apprx. 3-5 miles. Bring plenty of water to drink and the use of sunscreen is highly recommended as part of the trek will be in direct sunlight. There is no admission fee and no bathrooms.
