5.0 Crane Trust Wild Rose Ranch (9 reviews)
- Breathtaking opportunity
Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

The Wild Rose Ranch is closed to the public. It includes the headquarters office, research laboratory, dormitory, Legacy Cabins, meeting/dining facilities, private crane-viewing blinds, and an outdoor deck and observation platform with breathtaking views of the tall-grass prairie and Platte River waterway. To access this private land, you must book a VIP Crane Viewing Experience on our website which can accommodate individuals, couples and groups of 4 to 12 couples (or 8 to 20 individuals) and guests must be 18 or older to attend. It is a memorable way to spend time with friends, family, colleagues or clients while enjoying the natural wonder of the crane migration at the Crane Trust. See more..
4.0 Cheyenne State Recreation Area (1 review)
- Place for a picnic
Spent < 1 hour Bodies of Water • Parks • Playgrounds
While driving along I-80 it's easy to get sucked into the monotony of guardrails and fast food. However, within feet of Interstate exit 300 is a state rec area with picnic tables, a lake, and even a bit of nature. Get off the highway and have a picnic. If you didn't bring food, pick up lunch from the Subway at the same exit and bring it to the rec area; it's much better than eating at the gas station Subway! See more..
