Scotts Bluff National Monument in Scottsbluff, Nebraska is a well known point on the Oregon Trail. It was at Scotts Bluff that the wagon trains finally left the prairie and began to get into the rocks and eventually the mountains. This landmark could be seen by the wagon trains for several days before they actually reached the bluff. The wagon train went through a pass and on to the west. The Mormon trail and the Pony Express route also went through this pass. We drove through it as well. It makes you stop and think about all the people who have traveled this same path.
