Register Cliff Historic Site

We toured this park while staying at Guernsey State Park.  This park is located on the Oregon Trail and pioneers traveled through here in their wagons and you could see the ruts in the mountain from their wagon wheels.  They also inscribed their names on the mountain walls with dates in the 1800's.  A short hike up a trail will take you to the ruts and you can view the plateau where the U. S. Army set up camp in the area.  Early settlers dug out a hole in the mountain to store their food as it maintained a constant cool temperature during summer and winter.
