Register Cliff is a natural landmark whose historical significance comes from the large number of emigrant names and dates carved into its sandstone-limestone face. It also bears the names of early fur traders, participants in the Indian Wars, and pioneer ranchers. Some early names were obliterated by later carvings, making it necessary to fence the part of the cliff where signatures are most concentrated. A small cemetery established by covered wagon emigrants is also fenced. The site is enrolled in the National Register of Historic Places and includes parking, rest facilities, foot trails, and informative signs.
