    Tips

    Hiking

    The landmark towers about 250 meters over the prairie and the former Oregon Trail, along which many settlers traveled with their covered wagons. With an annual pass for the American national parks, you can enter the monument for free. A short walk to the highest point of the monument is worth it just for the view.

    The exposed sedimentary and igneous rocks at Scotts Bluff date back to the Oligocene (around 34 to 23 million years). The northeastern area of the monument consists of mudstone, siltstone, sandstone and volcanic tuff.
