This weekend, March 12-14, we at CCT encourage you to head down to Monte Vista, CO, for the annual Crane Festival. Thousands of sandhill cranes descend on this charming town in late winter every year during their long migration north, as they have been doing for thousands of years. The town holds the festival featuring wildlife experts, specialized tours, a craft fair, and a photo trip with renowned nature photographers to celebrate the arrival of the cranes.

Check out the video below of the majestic sandhill cranes which are drawn to the vast open lands and wildlife refuge of Monte Vista.
