Scotts Bluff National Monument
Scotts Bluff is a huge set of cliffs and bluffs that towers over the North Platte River valley. You can drive or hike all the way to the top for amazing views.
For thousands of years this giant landmark helped travelers find their way across the plains. It is loved for its scenic summit road, its hiking trails, and its wide views of the surrounding prairie.
