Alliance, NE

united states

Alliance is a farming town of 8,000 in Nebraska's panhandle, sitting where Highways 385 and 2 cross. It's about 300 miles northwest of North Platte and serves as a natural rest stop for travelers heading between Colorado and the Dakotas. The semi-arid climate brings hot summers and cold winters typical of the High Plains. The town is famous for Carhenge, a quirky Stonehenge replica made entirely from old cars.
