Scottsbluff National Monument
08/24/2021
Towering 800 feet above the North Platte River, Scotts Bluff has served as a landmark for peoples from Native Americans to emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails to modern travelers. Rich with geological and paleontological history as well as human history, there is much to discover while exploring the 3,000 acres of Scotts Bluff National Monument. From various tribes of Native Americans living and travelling through the area, to our modern towns with populations made of many different cultures, Scotts Bluff has served as a landmark for a huge diversity of peoples.
500,000 people traveled the Oregon Trail during the 1800’s and Scotts Bluff was one of just a few large formations that the travelers looked for. Very neat place with lots of history.
