Register Cliffs

Register Cliffs. . , Register Cliff stands in plain view after it is singled out by the sighting device. This natural landmark, enrolled in the National Register of Historic Places, is a developed area with parking and rest facilities, foot trails and informative signs. A fence protects the earliest names registered on the cliff face. Also fenced is a little cemetery originated by covered wagon emigrants., The Cliff’s historical significance stems from the large number of emigrant names and dates carved in the sandstone-limestone formation. However, it also bears names of early fur traders, Indian Wars participants and names and dates of pioneer ranchers. Some early names have been obliterated by more recent carving, and this made it necessary to fence the portion of the cliff where signatures are most concentrated., Register Cliff can be reached by a paved and well-marked country road extending three mile southeast from Guernsey.
