There are thousands of names here I registered on a large Rock. — Richard Augustus Keen at City of Rocks, June 22, 1852

Throughout the West emigrants recorded their passing by writing their names — often with axle grease — at unique places like the City of Rocks. This rock, called Camp Rock, once contained hundreds of names. But these historic records are fast disappearing. Nature takes it toll, but so do careless or malicious humans. How long will remnants of the names remain? No one knows.
Enjoy Camp Rock's inscriptions from a distance. Please stay behind the fence.
