The wide open spaces of the 94,000-acre Oglala National Grassland offer visitors peace and quiet along with unobstructed views of the Nebraska horizon. Major points of interest in the Oglala National Grassland include the Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed and the Toadstool Geologic Park. An interpretive trail will guide visitors through the unusual rock formations and fossil locations in Toadstool Park.

 

The Hudson-Meng Education and Research Center provides visitors the opportunity to see an actual excavation in progress. Interpretive exhibits and tour guides encourage visitors to develop their own theories on what may have caused the mass extinction. The Grassland is also one of the best places to see Pronghorn antelope and exquisite wildflowers.
