Independence Rock is a large granite rock, approximately 130 feet (40 m) high, 1,900 feet (580 m) long, and 850 feet (260 m) wide, which is in southwestern Natrona County, Wyoming along Wyoming Highway 220. During the middle of the 19th century, it formed a prominent and well-known landmark on the Oregon, Mormon, and California emigrant trails. Many of these emigrants carved their names on it, and it was described by early missionary and explorer Father Pierre-Jean De Smet in 1840 as the Register of the Desert. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 20, 1961 and is now part of Independence Rock State Historic Site, owned and operated by the state of Wyoming.

  • Independence Rock est un rocher de granit d'environ 36 mètres, situé au sud-ouest du comté de Natrona, dans le Wyoming, aux États-Unis. Situé sur la piste de l'Oregon et sur la piste des Mormons, ce lieu est classé à l'inventaire du National Historic Landmark depuis 1961. Son intérêt historique vient du fait que dans les années 1850, les pionniers de passage y gravaient leur nom et parfois la date de leur passage. (fr)

  • Der Independence Rock [ˌɪndɪˈpendəns rɑk] (deutsch Unabhängigkeitsfelsen) ist ein etwa 36 Meter hoher Granitfelsen am Ufer des Sweetwater River im Südwesten von Natrona County im US-Bundesstaat Wyoming. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts war der Felsen ein sehr beliebter und berühmter Treffpunkt für Immigranten, die über den Oregon Trail in den Westen der USA wollten. Die Siedler feierten dort den amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitstag, da sie meist am oder um den 4. Juli daran vorbeikamen. Es wurde zum Brauch, dort seinen Namen sowie das Datum seines Besuchs und einen kleinen Spruch für die Nachwelt einzumeißeln. (de)
  • Independence Rock, officieel ook Independence Rock State Historic Site, is een grote granieten rots, 1803 m boven de zeespiegel, in Natrona County in de Amerikaanse staat Wyoming. De rots is ongeveer 40 meter hoog. Het is een National Historic Landmark sinds 1961. Het geheel wordt door de staat onderhouden en is aangewezen als state historic site.
