Split Rock
Midway between Jeffrey City & Muddy Gap on U.S. Highway 287/789
Midway between Jeffrey City & Muddy Gap on U.S. Highway 287/789
As the dominant landmark of the Sweetwater Valley, the unmistakable “gun sight” notch in the summit of Split Rock aimed the emigration directly at Great South Pass, still more than 75 miles to the west. A BLM interpretive site is at this location. A second highway turn-out a few miles west offers a better (although reverse) view of the “split” and also a look at the Old Castle, a smaller landmark south of the Trail and highway.
