The hard cap rock of the Wildcat Range kept its siltstone, sandstone, limestone and volcanic ash from eroding into the plains. Scott’s Bluff is a series of formations in the range and was our next stop.
The Robidoux (think Roo-be-doo) Campground provided large sites with blooming trees, flowers and shrubs and an amazing view of Scott’s Bluff.
We visited Scott’s Bluff National Monument that afternoon and then drove Summit Road through the only driving tunnels in Nebraska.
The scenery on top of the bluff was stunning.
And here is a short clip of grasses blowing.
And wildflowers grew up there, too!
Yucca up close
And yucca from a little farther away
We loved the beauty on top of the bluff, but we also appreciated the views from there.
See the silver RV a little to left of center? That’s us–with a lot of zoom.
The towns of Gering and Scotts Bluff, Nebraska
About 20 miles south is Chimney Rock, a landmark for the pioneers.

I am loving the pictures. That RV site looks like you had a lot of room. Seems nicer than many I have seen!
