From the gray stone historical marker: Wild Rose Pass. In early days the Indian trail through these
mountains followed the gorge below known as Limpia Canyon. To avoid the floods travelers over the
San Antonio - El Paso Road, emigrants, U.S. troops and supply trains, and the mail chose this higher
pass famed for it wealth of wild roses. Erected by the State of Texas 1936.
