About the ride:
Fort Robinson State Park is three miles west of Crawford.
Here, riders will visit an area that is rich in the history
of the American West. Fort Robinson, a military outpost from
1874 to 1948, is located in the heart of the rugged Pine Ridge
region of northern Nebraska. Crazy Horse, Red Cloud and Walter
Reed were just a few of the historic figures who helped carve
the fort's place in history.
Fort Robinson spans more than 22,000 acres of majestic countryside,
offering breathtaking views and outstanding trails that pass
through tall-grass prairies, breathtaking rock formations
and Ponderosa pine forests.
Accommodations:
Rustic lodging and both primitive and modern camping are available.
There are no phones, televisions or radios in the rooms. Pay
phones and a television are located in the main lodge lobby.
Lodging will be assigned when you arrive on September 1. Participants
arriving prior to September 1 are guests of the Fort, and
lodging and stabling accommodations may be subject to change.
