Thanks jody_wy, that is interesting but it is a very incomplete answer. Can anyone answer the complete question?

This route, built by Frederick West Lander, an engineer for the Department of the Interior, was used after 1859 as an alternate route from Burnt Ranch to Fort Hall. It is the only part of the westward emigrant trails that was specifically built as a road for use by the emigrants.

Cutoffs Lander Road

Register Cliff is a stone outcropping along the Emigrant Trail near Guernsey, Wyoming, where numerous emigrants and other visitors have carved their names while passing through the area.

Quote:
Register Cliff [SIZE=4]The emigrants inscribed their names on a variety of "register rocks" all along the trails. These signatures served a number of purposes. Many emigrants inscribed their names for the simple purpose of declaring, to one and all, that they had made the trek. [/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Register Cliff is one of the best remaining signature rocks on the trail. It lies adjacent to an emigrant campground about one day’s trek west of Fort Laramie. Its soft sandstone continues to invite visitors to inscribe their names.

I'm pretty sure that is correct so here is a new question.

Fill in the blanks: The worlds largest _____ __________, named ___ ___ is located in Cheyenne's Holiday Park.

Also tell us why it is so big.

Y'all are having some nice weather up there in Wyoming so I'm just going to let this question sit here while you go out and enjoy the sunshine.
