Sandhill crane tours offered through mid-April

Visit North Platte

Through mid-April, approximately one million sandhill cranes will spend about six weeks in the Platte River Valley on their way north to Canada and Siberia — and 400,000 will spend that time in the North Platte area.

While these incredible creatures visit, they feed in the cornfields and wet meadows by day in preparation for their long journey ahead, and roost in the shallow flowing waters of the Platte River at night. This migration event draws people from all over the globe, and it can be experienced right here in North Platte.
