Dalton, NE

Dalton is a small farming town in the Nebraska Panhandle along US Highway 385, about 30 miles south of Sidney. Most visitors pass through on the north-south route between Colorado and South Dakota, or stop while traveling between Denver and the Black Hills. The town sits at 4,100 feet elevation surrounded by wheat fields and rangeland. Its grain elevator, run by the local cooperative, towers over the prairie and serves as a landmark visible for miles across the flat landscape.
