The vigil ceremony that takes place here on Veterans Day presented by AFJROTC is very awesome for the past 5 years. Also its a amazing monument to see as well.

Great history here. You can bring the family and learn a little bit and look out over the bluff to see a large part of the Iowa and Nebraska areas. There is enough room to social distance and there are a few picnic table set up to enjoy some family time. Awesome place.

The Sergeant Floyd Monument located in Sioux City Iowa is a great historic location. The monument has a very interesting history. The full story of the monument is available on Google. I would encourage you to stop at the monument and refresh up on some American history. It is a very pretty area with great views of the rivers and surrounding areas. Please get out and visit monuments before its too late due to all the protesting.

We stopped to stretch our legs during a long day of driving. Nice views, informative displays and a short walk made us right to continue our trip. If youre interested in the Lewis and Clark expedition I think youll find it worthwhile.

Its a monument. There are some nice grassy areas and some benches to sit on and a nice view of the highway and river. There really isnt much to see other than the monument. We did however sit for a while on the benches and enjoy the weather as well as take a few different photos from different views. It pales in comparison to the Washington Monument but it looks very similar. Something to check out if you have nothing better to do I guess.

Nice. Love to visit and see American history, the story of our country. Some good some not but it is who we are. Change the future but you cant change the past.

Thank you for providing an Iowa State Sign!! Roadside pictures are dangerous. State sign pictures are the best gifts to have on road trips. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. THANKS for also providing the Lewis & Clark NHT stamp to add to our NP Passport book! Hope to visit again and spend more time in Iowa in the future.

Coming from Washington, D.C., it made us feel a bit closer to home to see an obilisk at this site. Though not as big as the famous monument in our neck of the woods, it stands for a lot, and reading about its history was really interesting. Plus, the views were gorgeous. Highly recommend a visit here!

As a history buff this was a wonderful easy in/out attraction. But it was difficult to get to. Be prepared with directions and updates on road closures/construction and make the effort.

Not very much to it, but a cool little historic spot. The overview is just of a highway, so not much there. Pretty tall on person. Nicely maintained garden around it while I was there as well.

My husband is a Lewis and Clark expedition fan and we went to the monument to show our respect Srg Floyd. The monument is nice but its located in an area of town that is not kept up very well. There are a few signs to read that give interesting information about the expedition. One was almost unreadable due to scratches on the fiberglass sign. There are a few benches to sit on overlooking the water...and industrial buildings. It was pretty hot when we went and there isnt a lot of shade so we read the signs and the multiple plaques on the monument in memory all the people who were involved with getting the monument read, and then left. It was nice to visit but is definitely a quick stop kind of place. Small parking area but there is a restroom.

I was pleasantly surprised to visit this monument. Great piece of history right here in Sioux City. This did not involve any physical activity as the parking lot is on top of the hill right by the monument. I was the only one there when I visited during the weekday in the evening hours. The views from the top of the hill are amazing. Try to come during sunset to really enjoy the view. You can see the Missouri River from the top as well. It took less than an hour to enjoy.

This was not far off of the interstate and we felt it was worth the beautiful drive. Perfect for any history buff. The monument is easy to park near and walk up to but there is also a small walking tour thats down a dirt trail. The view frim the monument was nice and we were able to see antelope on our drive out to the site.

The site itself was nice and had a good view. The marijuana growing on the southern side wreaked and makes you wonder if the town understands anything about appearances.Just because its ditch weed doesnt make it seem any less ghetto.

A OK nice National monument. they fail to transfer the reason of the USAA expedition to this geografical place, fail completely in educate the visitors in the geopolitical realities of the time in 1800 and the importance of the expedition to the United States of America today. Go and visit but read couple of books on the subject before you visit. Saludos

Its a nice monument, but thats it. The parking lot isnt very good. The roads around the monument dont dont make access easy, and if you miss the turn, everyone drives so fast through there that its challenging to turn around. With it being such a grand monument, it seems strange that so little else is around it.

Quick stop off I-29 with a great view of Sewer City. Looks just like the Washington Monument in D.C. minus all the crowds and fanfare. Odds are you will be the only one there.

A miniature Washington Monument. It seems like if Floyd had not died in Sioux City, it would barely be on the map. The Floyd name is everywhere.
