Names Hill, Historical cliff in LaBarge, Wyoming, US
The sandstone cliff stands along the Green River bank, featuring thousands of carved signatures and inscriptions from 19th-century travelers crossing westward.
Names Hill became a significant landmark during the Oregon Trail period, with the first European American inscriptions appearing in 1822 as mountain men traversed the area.
Native American pictographs on the cliff surface predate European settlement, indicating the location served as a communication point for indigenous peoples.
The cliff covers 4.5 acres and sits 5 miles south of LaBarge, accessible through U.S. Route 189 with the Green River providing a natural resting point.
Mountain man Jim Bridger's signature appears on the rock face, generating discussions about its authenticity since historical records indicate he could not write.
