Vista West, United States
Independence Rock
Independence Rock is a large granite rock, approximately 130 feet high, 1,900 feet long, and 850 feet wide, which is in southwestern Natrona County, Wyoming, United States, along Wyoming Highway 220. During the middle of the 19th century, it formed a prominent and well-known landmark on the Oregon, Mormon, and California emigrant trails. Many of these emigrants carved their names on it, and it was described by early missionary and explorer Father Pierre-Jean De Smet in 1840 as the Register of the Desert.
