ROADS LESS TRAVELED
Discover Northwest Nebraska’s White River Valley Road Trip starts outside of Crawford, Nebraska, near Fort Robinson State Park, and takes adventurers through one of the earliest settled areas of Sioux County.
This tour doesn’t have many stops, but what it lacks in attractions it makes up for in its display of the natural beauty of one of the Pine Ridge’s more attractive, and less traveled areas. The tour offers excellent opportunities for photography and wildlife viewing including antelope, turkey and any of the many bird and raptor species that call Northwest Nebraska home. Anglers may want to bring a rod along – there’s plenty of opportunity to fish the White River along the way. Railroad enthusiasts will enjoy traveling beside what remains of the famous Cowboy Line, originally built by the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad in the late 1880s, as it snakes alongside the river through the valley. The tour takes explorers near the sites of two Northwest Nebraska ghost towns, Glen and Andrews.
This trip is 40 miles long.
