Scotts Bluff National Monument

Located 5 miles southwest of [scottsbluff], the monument encompasses an escarpment that rises 800 feet above the North PlatteRiver, or 4649 feet above sea level. The bluff, named for trapper Hiram Scott, was a prominent landmark on the Oregon and California trails. Pioneers abandoned the riverbank and cut through Mitchell Pass to avoid the rough terrain. Vestiges of the trail can still be seen.
