5The Monument Rocks, Kansas
Monument Rocks is the country’s first official National Natural Landmark. Located in Gove County, south of Oakley, these 70-foot-tall towers of chalk mysteriously stand amidst raw ranchlands. It is believed that they are what remains of an ancient body of water that once filled middle America over 80 million years ago.
It is important to remember that you should not touch the rocks. They are quite susceptible to erosion and often contain fossils too. Veteran visitors say the easiest way to get here is to take “Gove County Roads 14 and 16” ‘til you see “Stonehenge-like structures” in the distance. Try to figure out which rock formation is named “Charlie the Dog.”

This is such a surreal landscape, we were lucky enough to catch the spring wildflower bloom and it was spectacular. All tiny flowers of multiple colors poking through the black volcanic rocks, it really was an explosion against the solid black craggy rocks.
It really is a must see if your in the area.
May I simply say what a relief to discover someone that genuinely understands what theyre talking about on the internet. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people must look at this and understand this side of the story.

Great article. It is unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, plus the first ever real global economic downturn. Through it all the industry has proven to be powerful, resilient and dynamic, discovering new strategies to deal with trouble. There are always fresh difficulties and the possiblility to which the marketplace must all over again adapt and react.
