Red Rock: Wyoming's Stone Time Capsule

Red Rock: Wyoming's Stone Time Capsule

Travelers' marks etched in stone since the 1850s discovered in Wyoming.

In Wyoming's high-desert, Red Rock – a sandstone lump – offers a glimpse into the past. For centuries, passersby etched their signatures here, weathering away under windy conditions. Yet, the calmer side stands, defying time's tricks. The solitary Red Rock reaches about 20 feet high and spans roughly 120 feet. Nestled on private land, it boasts a spot in the National Register of Historic Places since 1978.
