Signature Rock Wyoming
Signature Rock is a large amphitheater-like sandstone cliff located between Cowley and Byron, Wyoming, north of the Shoshone River. Names and dates incised on sandstone rock formations at Signature Rock in 1864 correspond to the individual dates of various Shoshone River crossings and layovers.
The inscriptions also indicate the route the trail took up the valley of Sage Creek. They are very significant because they substantiate the correct route of the Bridger Trail through an area with limited historic evidence concerning the trail route. The location and authenticity of the inscriptions has been confirmed by field reconnaisance.
