Monument Rocks




After a long, dusty drive down a dirt road in the middle of the plains is Monument Rock National Park. The only thing to note that you have arrived at the right place is a small sign and the Rocks, which stick way above everything else around them.
In the days of the wagon trains with their conastogas, this was a way stop....it was a major achievment to reach this point. As we looked around we were baffled by this choice.....was it only because it couldn't be missed? Because we saw no water in the immediate vicinity!
