A scenic but more uncommon view of Scotts Bluff National Monument as seen from Robidoux Pass. Dome Rock is the only butte that is easily identifiable since we are seeing the backside of Crown Rock and Sentinel Rock.

Robidoux Pass was one of the two historic passes used by pioneers to traverse the Wildcat Hills Range on the Oregon Trail. Located south of the North Platte Valley near the town of Gering, this pass saw its heaviest use during the Oregon Migration and the California Gold Rush of the 1840s.
