Nebraska's Sandhills Journey

The legendary Nebraska Highway 2 is your ticket to the beautiful Nebraska Sandhills. Plan your next adventure on the official Sandhills Journey National Scenic Byway app. Discover attractions, amenities, and travel tips for your journey through the heart of one of America’s most unusual land formations.

The Nebraska Sandhills is an iconic American landscape and the largest area of stabilized grass-covered sand dunes in the Western Hemisphere. Expansive ranchland, winding rivers, and the dramatic Sandhills provide an amazing view along this 272-mile stretch of Nebraska Highway 2, from Grand Island to Alliance. A traveler could easily spend days on the byway and still not experience its many offerings.

The Sandhills, the water resources, the birds - both native and migratory, the wildlife, the Nebraska National Forest, and the absence of light pollution make the Sandhills Journey National Scenic Byway region a truly unique natural wonder, both nationally and internationally.

"Nebraska’s Highway 2 is one of America’s 10 most beautiful highways. This road will take you to one of the last unexplored frontiers where vast treasures can be discovered." -Charles Kuralt.
