Beginning in the city of Gering, one will head west along the two lane, Old Highway 92. While riding, the bluffs will begin to appear in the distance as one travels closer to the entrance of the uphill climb to the monument. Once passed the Visitors Center, the paved road becomes a bit narrower, curvier, and steeper. As the elevation increases, the road's steep edge becomes more exposed. While traveling to the top, one will pass through several rock tunnels and finally come to a spectacular view of the Nebraskan landscape and surrounding bluffs. Note that bikes are only allowed on the monument road in the early morning and late evenings after the park closes the road to vehicles - contact the park for specific dates and times. A fee is also required to bike along the roadway.
