The Saddle Rock Trail at Scotts Bluff National Monument has reopened for the hiking after being closed in the aftermath of two rockslides earlier this summer.
However, the trail surface has sustained some damage, so a temporary walking surface is in place with repair work continuing through the fall.
“Please watch your footing and be aware of your surroundings as you use the trail. We are happy to get the trail open for all visitors to enjoy,” said Superintendent Dan Morford.
The Scotts Bluff National Monument Visitor Center is currently open daily 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, while the Summit Road opens to motorized vehicles at 9:00 a.m., with the last drive up at 5:30 p.m. All motorized vehicles must be off the road by 6:00 p.m. The monument grounds, including the Saddle Rock Trail, are open sunrise to sunset.
