Just down the road from the home of Gary and Pam Stauffer is "Courthouse and Jail Rocks," which are two of the most famous landmarks of the mid 1800's westward migration.
Courthouse and Jail Rocks, rising some 400 feet above the North Platte Valley, are erosional remnants composed of clay, sandstone and volcanic ash. We walked up as close as we could to the rocks - they are just breathtaking! One of the pictures is looking into the crevice of the earth by the rocks. We were told later that there are a lot of rattle snakes around there...glad we didn't meet up with one!
