Monument Rocks National Landmark

Just a few miles east of highway 83 in the Smoky Hill River valley is an old land mark many of the pioneers used. Monument Rocks, also called the Chalk Pyramids were carved out of the landscape by erosion. These monoliths stand 70 feet high above the river valley and can be seen for many miles. The Butterfield Overland trail went past these landmarks.

The day was perfect for taking pictures. Please click on the pictures to fully enjoy them.
