July 27th – Aug 1st

Scotts Bluff, Nebraska is a beautiful area. The bluffs are named after Hiram Scott, who died at the bottom of the bluff. He was a fur trader and his companions left him there.

Then, we visited Chimney Rock National Historical Site.

Scotts Bluff area is a part of the Oregon Trail and Old Morman Trail. Pioneers would pass by these sandstone mountains, crossing the North Platte River.

Agate Fossils National Monument was close by. We visited and walked to see some fossils. There were dinosaur fossils found and the digging sites are now abandoned.

Deamonalix, which is a beaver tunnel fossil

Barry and I rode our bikes on the Mountain View Path about 12 miles to the base of the bluff.

Beautiful night skies
