Try hiking in an area best-known for its connection to the Oregon Trail at the
Scotts Bluff National Monument.
A prominent natural landmark for emigrants on the Oregon Trail, Scotts Bluff,
Mitchell Pass and the adjacent prairie lands are set aside in a 3,000 acre national
monument. The 1.6 mile Saddle Rock Trail leads hikers from the visitor center
to the summit, and the .5 mile Oregon Trail Pathway leads from the visitor center
to the remnants of the Oregon Trail. www.nps.gov/ |
