Yep that looks about right Walking a trail up Scotts Bluff Scotts Bluff is a national historic monument A famous landmark along the Oregon trail Funky plant thing on the trail Didn’t expect this type of landscape in Nebraska Another hot day but we were in the shade for a lot of this hike Can’t imagine how hard it would be traversing this area in the 1800s The photo behind the photo What’s this? A tunnel! Yup, confirmed, it’s a tunnel His view Her view Lol she caught me taking a picture of the tunnel Shelby likes this photo And I like this one Getting a little dark… …and the park closes at sunset Here’s the view at the south overlook And here’s the view of Shelby at the south overlook Hey there’s the tunnel we went through Okay time to go we still need to walk down We decided to walk down the road to save time Got a bonus view of a storm in the distance Awesome tunnels on the road Overall very pleased with this National Monument Park The photo behind the photo More funky vegetation Looks like pride rock from Lion King Super moon Back to Scotts Bluff in the morning for the short Oregon Trail trail I can see why this was a major landmark on the trail That is sentinel rock in the background An authentic portion of the original Oregon Trail Decided to read another one of those self guided tours from the national park app here We conquered the trail through Mitchell Pass Lots of hot air balloons over there, must have been some event I guess I’m an official westerner now Okay we are a couple of “turn backers” Very cool wagon replicas on display We are guiding our oxen wagon along the trail Another famous landmark, Chimney Rock The most noted landmark along the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails Corn sighting while driving east through Nebraska Not much to see out here Just fields, farms, and factories This archway over I80 is a museum about western migration More corn near the city of Omaha In the zone while working Great sunset at a park in Omaha
