Kids enjoy hiking to the summit of the bluff, as well as interpretive ranger-led walks. Plus, weekends in the summer, kids can learn what it was like to be a kid on the Oregon Trail.

Wanted: Junior Rangers!

Learn the history of the area and have fun at the same time! Participants receive a certificate of completion and a Scotts Bluff National Monument Junior Ranger badge.

Did You Know?
The 1.6 mile Saddle Rock Trail leads hikers from the Scotts Bluff National Monument Visitor Center to the summit. Though the wagon ruts have eroded away, the 1/2 mile Oregon Trail Pathway runs from the Visitor Center to the remnants and roadbed of the Oregon Trail.
