Scottsbluff, NE

Sep 09  Loveland, CO - Scottsbluff, NE        168 miles   4 hours

Picked up the RV this morning. New radiator is in and everything seems to be working good. Set us back a few bucks but that's just part of owning and maintaining your own motorhome.

Entering Wyoming


This morning we started out in Colorado, drove through part of Wyoming, and ended up in Nebraska.This is the life!


Our site at Riverside Campground







Our first trip to Nebraska, pretty cool. We're staying at the Riverside Campground, it's part of the city park here in Scottsbluff. Rates for full hook ups is $20.00. It's located right next to the Discovery Center, part of which is a zoo. This evening as I was walking around the campground, I heard animals roaring. Made me walk faster!

Sep 10   Scotts Bluff National Monument

Drove out to the Scotts Bluff National Monument
this morning.
View of Scotts Bluff
We rode the shuttle to the top and hiked down the Saddle Rock Trail. The trail gradually descends the steep slopes of Scotts Bluff. Eroding layers of sandstone, siltstone, and volcanic ash are exposed along the way. Took us about an hour.

Hiking along the edge












The only pedestrian tunnel in Nebraska





View from the tunnel

Halfway down the trail

Beautiful

Finally......level ground

As we were getting ready to leave Riverside Campground, I noticed this nice view of Scotts Bluff in the background.
