I spent a full day hiking this wonderful land this past May and found it amazing. The sheer size of it, and the lack of many trees makes it seem almost other worldly and I love the history of the area. I loved the cabin and tried to imagine how it would have been to have lived out there before the area became a National Park.

A magical place. Great exhibits. Great staff. I did the hike up and back. It's actually paved. The drive, in from Scottsbluff, was also wonderful.

We drove way out of our way to visit here and it was so worth it. Not only is it a fascinating place to visit, but the people there were so nice. From the movie, to the displays, to the grounds it is a very well done site. I wish there were more places like this to visit. I am glad we went.
