Lincoln Hwy Marker - Tree Rock - Buford WY - Lincoln Highway Markers on Waymarking.com

This small tree that seems to be growing out of solid rock has fascinated travelers since the first trains rolled past on the Union Pacific Railroad. In 1868, the original builders of the railroad diverted the tracks 50 feet south to bypass this tree. That railroad was abandoned in 1903 and the grade became a wagon road. In 1913, the original Lincoln Highway passed right by Tree Rock as did U.S. 30 in the 1920s and Interstate 80 in the 1960s.
The parking areas at the tree are easily accessible from both east and westbound I-80.

The Lincoln Highway Marker is just a few feet south of the tree.
