Event details

Each spring, the Platte River becomes one of North America’s great wildlife spectacles, as Sandhill Cranes pour into central Nebraska to rest and refuel. Rowe Sanctuary’s guided crane experiences put you on the river at the right moment, with sunrise and sunset tours that frame the day’s biggest drama: thousands of birds lifting off the water in a single, rolling wave.

Plan for chilly mornings, bring binoculars, and book ahead. Between tours, make a family road trip of it with small-town diners, flatwater walks along the Platte, and an easy base in Kearney or Grand Island.
