Traveling through the mid-western states presents an opportunity to see many natural landmarks that remain as they were when pioneers made their way west. One of the more unique sites is Monument Rocks, sometimes referred to as Chalk, Smoky or Little Pyramids. Some of these limestone formations stand as high as 60 feet on either side of the road, but cannot be seen until the traveler gets within a few miles of the site. Most amazing is to think that this spot was ocean floor at one time, a part of the "dust bowl" at another time and now is in the middle of hundreds of miles of rolling prairie and pasture lands. |
