Route Details
|
The 39th Edition of Tour de Nebraska features a NEW version of the Nebraska Panhandle experience. Truly, this is "Where the Old West Begins!"
Our second time here will reunite all of us with the Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area, Scotts Bluff National Monument and also Chimney Rock State Historical Site. The magic of Nebraska topography is so unique, subtle and surprising that it will surely delight everyone. This is TDN's first time ever to Alliance, and for many it will be our first time ever, to experience and see Carhenge! This community has international, national and local artists that have put Alliance on the art scene map with their murals and creative spirit. The elevation in Scottsbluff is 3,888 feet. So, prepare for less humidity, and we'll hope for the best weather and prepare for whatever comes. Don't forget it's the MT Time Zone. We are only 15 miles from the Colorado border and 100 miles to Fort Collins, Colorado or 2 hours from the Denver suburbs. We hope to see our friends from the West come and join us! Potter is a first-time overnight community. They overwhelmed us with their community spirit, hospitality and charm in 2019. The same for Bridgeport and Scottsbluff (and Gering). Everyone is so excited to welcome TDN and celebrate and explore this "Landmark Country." (Click on the route maps below for more detail) |
