The rock is really nothing too spectacular but after hours of driving it was a great walk around the rock to stretch the legs. I also spent about 20 minutes photographing the rabbits. They're very approachable and easy to find.

Moved to wyoming a while ago and never saw the rock so deceided to take a ride out to check it out , the kids thought it was cool climbed up all over it an they saw the names carved on it from pioneers traveling back in the day

While maintained as a Wyoming state rest stop, with typical bathroom facilities, and some shaded areas with picknic tables. And of course the rock there is nothing else there. Bring whatever you need with, sunblock, and bug spray a must in the summer months our recent trip it was 98 degrees F. The carvings themselfs are interesting, some very faded, and quite a hike if you go all the way around, or on top.

We pulled into this place just as a Rest Stop, then to find out that it was also a historic Site. We walked to the rock, then climbed to the top. It was a fun Photo Op and a great place to stretch those muscles for the long car ride through Wyoming. The Full on Mormon Historic site is just south of this Rock, but that wasn't for us as they have their Missionaries there preaching their shade of Religion.

Interesting part of our history. Hard to imagine walking across these vaste stretches of open country even today much less doing it back in the 1800's with only what you could carry in a wagon. Seeing this place really makes one think about how hard it must have been and truly amazing that so many managed to make the trip and survive.

It's an interesting bit of history and nice place to stretch your legs. They have bathrooms there. There is a bit of interpretive signing and a sidewalk to walk to the rock and a trail around. You can still climb on the rock.

Interesting, especially for those interested in the western expansion of our nation. Very worth the stop.

Was interesting to take pictures of 50 cultists who's ancestors died near there, dressed in 1800's clothing climbing to the top of the rock today. (3 bus tour) I'd not expect that on your visit. Having lived many winters in the Rocky Mountains, I "get" the story of it being a landmark of "get past here by July 4" or increase your risk of dying before you get over the Rockies going west. Worth a short stop.

We visit this site on our way along the Oregon trail, and found it interesting and alot of fun. The boys and I climbed to the top and looked at carvings of names on the top as well as sides. The view on top was great and you could see the path of the trail coming and going. The exhibits at the site were nice and informative. You do have to watch for Prairie Rattlesnakes in the grass, but they are not aggressive and the walkways are wide and safe. There is a rest area associated with the site with bathrooms and plenty of parking for cars, RVs and trucks. The Covered Wagon is really neat and helps bring the history to life.

We just stopped here to stretch our legs and walked way with some beautiful photos and a history lesson about the Oregon Trail. There are walking and hiking options for anyone who has the time and inclination. But just reading about the history here was very entertaining. We were not terribly impressed with WY except for this stop at Independence Rock.
