Valentine lies beside the Niobrara River in Nebraska’s Sandhills, and its position has made it a service centre for ranches spread across this grass-covered dune country. The Niobrara’s wooded valley cuts through an otherwise open region of prairie and wetlands, while Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge lies just southeast of town. Valentine is the western terminus of the Cowboy Trail, a rail trail following a former Chicago and North Western Railway route across northern Nebraska. Each February, the local post office is known for its special Valentine’s Day postmark. Continue to other webcams across Nebraska’s Sandhills to compare river valleys, ranch country and open prairie.
