ON SOFT ROCK FACES THEY INSCRIBED THEIR NAMES AND DATES OF PASSING. THESE ETCHINGS NOT ONLY CONFIRM THEIR PRESENCE ON THE FRONTIER, THEY ARE EVIDENCE OF THE PIONEERS' REALIZATION THAT THEY WERE PARTICIPANTS IN A DRAMATIC PROCESS: THE SETTLE MENT OF THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI WEST. AFTER THE FIRST DAY OUT OF FORT LARAMIE EMIGRANTS PAUSED TO MARK THEIR PASSING AT REGISTER CLIFF, A SANDSTONE BLUFF 1.5 MILES SOUTHEAST OF HERE REGISTER CLIFF CAN BE OBSERVED MORE CLOSELY BY TRAVELING: 2.5 MILES SOUTH-EAST OF DOWNTOWN GUERNSEY.
