Scientific Interest

Scotts Bluff's Presidential Proclamation states, "[it] has scientific interest from a geological standpoint." The north face of Scotts Bluff shows more geological history than any other place in Nebraska.

Things To Do

Visitors can hike the Saddle Rock Trail, drive to the summit, visit the Oregon Trail Museum and Visitor Center, and even relive life on the Oregon Trail during our Living History programs during the summer.

Monumental History

Scotts Bluff is unique among national parks as nearly all structures, roads, and trails were constructed in the 1930's primarily by the Civilian Conservation Corps.  Learn about how Scotts Bluff came to be.
