26 miles north of Sutherland along a springfed creek known as the North Birdwood, the working cow/calf operation offers riding lessons, roping lessons and experiences working with cattle. Also offered are guided artifact hunts in an area rich with Native American and Pioneer history, as well as tubing, fishing and trail riding.
A section of hills along the South Platte River near Sutherland. Because the bluffs come very close to the river, early travelers were forced to traverse the bluffs above the bottom land. Some of the most clearly defined and well preserved remnants of the Oregon-California Trail remain here as evidence of the great westward migration of the mid-nineteenth century. Ruts can clearly be seen at the eastbound Interstate 80 rest area one mile east of the Sutherland interchange. On the National Register of Historic Sites.
