  • Corridor Management Plan Table of Contents
    FORWARD The late Charles Kuralt said . "Nebraska’s Highway 2 is one of America’s 10 most beautiful highways. This road will take you to one of the last unexplored frontiers where vast treasures can be discovered." Charles Kuralt of CBS television program “On the Road”: “From the first time I ever drove along it, I’ve been in love with Highway 2. It’s not so much that there’s a special something to see along Nebraska’s Highway 2. There’s a special nothing to see. From Grand Island to Alliance, Highway 2 takes you through the Nebraska Sandhills, the largest area of sand dunes in the western hemisphere. Writers inevitably use a metaphor of the sea to describe the hundreds of thousands of acres of grass – and hundreds of thousands of acres of sky. Like the sea the emptiness of the Sandhills gives the travelers a strange sense of comfort, there’s a feeling that as long as these two things are in order, the earth and the sky, all the rest can be forgotten until tomorrow. Highway 2 is not just another highway that goes somewhere, Highway 2 is somewhere.” Sandhills Journey Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan Table of Contents Forward – Charles Kuralt’s Impression Table of Contents 1 .
