Crane Trust or Rowe Sanctuary; Wood River & Gibbon, Neb.

See one of wildlife’s most extraordinary shows. The largest single migration in North American takes place right on the Platte River as more than half a million sandhill cranes pass through the area on their northward migration. Trips to crane-viewing blinds are available every morning and evening during March and early April at the Crane Trust and Rowe Sanctuary.

Rich with geological and paleontological history as well as human history, there is much to discover while exploring the 3,000 acres of Scotts Bluff National Monument.
