Castle Rock is the most formidable geological landmark in Sweetwater County. The geological landmark overlooks the city of 绿河 and is located near downtown. The Palisades rock formation in Sweetwater County is deeply engrained in the history of the county. Native Americans onced used the rock formation to protect them from the elements as they crossed the 绿河. And trappers and traders during the days of the American Fur Company in the early 19th century used the Palisades as a reference point during travel. Tollgate Rock was so named because of the number of tolls collected at its location. 故事不同, but one of the most often told tales is that early-day Mormons cut a road through a natural gate on the south side of the rock.
