The Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway bisects this ancient ground, leading travelers to world class natural wonders undiscovered anywhere else…. ~Nebraska Sandhills ~Ogallala Aquifer ~Nebraska National Forest – ~Bessey Ranger District ~Loup River System ~Spring Migration of Sandhill Cranes ~Central Flyway for Migratory Birds ~Brilliant Night Skies ~Unique Ecosystems ~Abundant Wildlife The Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway, or Nebraska Highway 2, runs 272 miles between Grand Island and Alliance and will take you through remarkable scenery, one of America's unique geographies, and past abundant wildlife.
