The Register Rock is being taken very good care of. The small campground surrounding it is definitely the best choice for camping spaces, that I see, if you plan on staying for the day(s). There's trees at this spot. I should like to see in the future, hopefully, for having quite a lot more signage and display, going on, showing more facts about this area and the people's daily lives. I can't hardly imagine how difficult it was for the ones traveling, whose names are upon Register Rock, and I think we could all take a moment to appreciate the level of determination and hard work that those before us put in, and for how their hard work has given us just a much easier life. I should like to say, thank you, to...

A nice little park for a picnic. The rock itself is a bit small and under a pavilion. If you're an Oregon Trail tourist who's seen Register Cliff and Independence Rock, you don't need to stop here.

A better stop would be the rest area about 5 miles east of here. There's a small display and then a walking path to Oregon Trail Ruts. It's about a 3/4 mile walk with some mild uphill sections. It takes you under and to the south side of the interstate where there are well-marked and well...

So cool! There's no camping here, it's really just a picnic spot. (With 4 bathroom buildings though!) Don't leave your kids unguarded since there's no fence by the river. The monuments are cool. There's a cute drawing by a little pioneer boy from the 1800s or something. A fun place to stretch our legs.

$7 is pretty steep for a picnic, but I would have paid it if there was a way. Maybe something's broken or missing? When is Idaho going to add a QR code payment option?

P.S. There's a pokemon...

I grew up close to here and have been coming here for years as my family's name is on Register Rock from when my great grandfather brought his family out west on the wagon train. I think they need to update and upgrade such a historical site to protect it from from vandalism and preserve it for future generations. I would like for my grandchildren and great grandchildren to be able to come and see their families name on the rock..

We've been here before, before the improvements. What a difference. This is such a nice place. There are plenty of bathrooms, picnic tables, and green grass. It is $7.00 for a day pass. Register Rock is so interesting, and we are glad it is preserved. You could have family gatherings here since there is plenty of room. It's definitely worth stopping here.
