Southwestern Wyoming, is a high desert that resulted from a playa, or ancient lake. The lake receded and dried up thousands of years ago, leaving behind soil formed by the erosion of sandstone and shale. Although few green things grow willingly here besides sagebrush and prairie grass, such a setting made conditions ripe for the natural phenomena of stunning rock formations. Millions travel the east-west route, marveling at the formations created by eons of rain and wind.
The Palisades, west of Green River, was used as a reference point for trappers and traders during the days of the American Fur Company in the early part of the 19th century.
