The view is spectacular and the historicity is fascinating! I never knew that Lewis and Clark had been here, let alone named the place!
this is a simple park with a wonderful view of Council Bluffs, and Omaha. As you gaze out on the mighty Missouri river you can imagine what it must have been like for the first white men to stand in the same place, to meet the Native Americans and stand in awe of God's wonderful creation.
From here you get a beautiful view over a couple of small lakes in the valley and can see for at least 30 miles most days. The Monument itself is very nice, every thing looks new. There are three trails you can follow from there one of which takes you to two natural springs. Worth visiting and making a day of your visit. Take food and drinks there is no businesses anywhere near.
I have been coming here for years and still can not get enough of the beauty if the surroundings. The bluff overlooks downtown Omaha, airport and parts of Iowa. A couple short wooded trails for those who seek a little bit more adventure. Benches with great views to sit down a have a meal. Bring your camera. At times the views are breathtaking!
Very well done visitors center from the National Park Service. Our tax dollars are well spent detailing the history and natural assets our USA has. Natural assets that other world countries do not have. They attract those foreign travelers and their green dollars. Welcome. Oh, make sure you take 30 minutes to view the Lewis and Clark video.
The kids loved this place, no charge. Great way to get exercise on a nice day! Very educational. BEAUTIFUL view!
The views from this overlook are nice, but there is not much to the monument itself. It is well maintained and clean.
This is a very lovely spot in the Bluffs of Council Bluffs that provides an interesting view of Eppley Airfield in Omaha and the Omaha skyline
Great overlook of the city. A place to stop and think about history of the USA and this area. Peacefull place to reflect. Also, has a nice nature trail.
Love this location overlooking Eppley Airfield in Omaha and I-29.you are perched high on the bluffs overlooking all of downtown Omaha and the Missouri river. Nice hiking trails and historic information about the Lewis and Clark expedition.might be hard to find, but worth the effort!
