With their indepth research of the Santa Fe Trail, the Wet/Dry Routes Chapter felt some sites and trails needed more information. With this in mind the Chapter has placed in prominent locations along the Santa Fe Trail, "Interpretive Markers" to do just that. On these pages you will find a photo of the markers and the text placed on them.

POINT OF ROCKS Long a landmark on the Santa Fe Trail, this geological formation became known as Point of Rocks. George Sibley described the promontory as a large mass of Gravel Rock of a very remarkable appearance. Highway construction in 1981 greatly reduced the size of the landmark.
