The numbers are in! At last count, there were already 213,000 cranes along Nebraska’s Platte River, the most in over 18 years at this time! Experts are saying because of the warmer weather, the peak of the migration will be sooner. Fortunately, a family of cranes stay for about three weeks, putting our tour on March 15-16 at a great time! If you’re interested in seeing one of the greatest migration spectacles in North America, don’t wait any longer! There’s still time to get on the tour but there are just a few SEATS LEFT! Below are some highlights of our Sandhill Crane Migration Tour, March 15-16.

  • A 360-degree view of the Sandhill Cranes’ evening return at the Crane Trust Nature and Visitor Center!
  • Morning 2 1/2 hour step-on guided Crane Tour (learn more about their migration, feeding, bonding, postures and more!)
