Visitors will be rewarded for a "short walk with a long view" of the picturesque country surrounding Scotts Bluff National Monument. This is a very easy walk on a paved pathway The signs at the end of the trail have a lot of pertinent information about this part of Nebraska.

North Overlook

Reviewed By iamseanhurley

It’s a very manageable hike. Really nice that it is paved and there are plenty of great stops on the way up. My wife and I took our 2 yr old dog with us and we all did great (although I’m fairly sore the day after. Haha) and loved the views from the top. Definitely the hike you should do if you can manage the 600ft-ish in elevation. ????????

They have a nice nature center with displays. A new firing range was just opened for pistols and rifles. Archery and air guns are also available. You can bring your own and they have some rental equipment. Many new picnic tables have been added this Spring throughout the area. Organized programs are frequently offered and the hiking trails will give you a workout.
