Side trip on the way home from our Chaco/Bisti Wilderness Experience 2011 => http://hikearizona.com/TL.php?ID=63350

I became aware of this Inscription Rock when researching the Beale Wagon Road => http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=491 Found the Simpson and Kern 1849 inscriptions, but failed to locate Beale's 1857 inscription.

With Inscription Rock as a gauge for the number of travellers that passed this way, makes you wonder about the sequence of events that led to the railroad and I-40 route ending up about 25 miles north of this site...
