Alda

Alda combines the quiet scale of a rural Nebraska community with the drama of spring crane migration in a way that reflects its position in the Platte River valley. The village lies in Hall County west of Grand Island, where the broad, braided Platte and its surrounding wet meadows form essential stopover habitat for sandhill cranes. Nearby, the Crane Trust conserves land along the river and interprets the annual migration, one of central Nebraska’s defining seasonal events. Alda is also crossed by the Union Pacific rail corridor and U.S. Highway 30, routes that trace the historic transportation axis of the Platte Valley.
