Scotts Bluff

Scotts Bluff rises 800 feet above the North Platte River and has served as a landmark for peoples from Native Americans to emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails to modern travelers. Rich with geological and paleontological history as well as human history, Scotts Bluff National Monument covers 3,000 acres. Summers are generally dry, with high temperatures usually in the 80's and 90's, though they can occasionally rise above 100. Winter daytime temperatures are usually in the 40's or low 50's, with overnight lows below freezing and sometimes below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be windy at any time of year, but spring is the windiest season.
