Downtown Scottsbluff, Nebraska

A place worth knowing

Make room for Scottsbluff.

Use Scottsbluff as a regional base, with time for a national monument, a museum and a downtown evening. Some of the best-known nearby attractions are in Gering, across a separate local drive. Plan outdoor visits around wind and weather, and give the history of the landscape more time than a single viewpoint photograph.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Scotts Bluff National Monument
