Description

Monument Rocks is located in Gove county Kansas. Just 20 miles south of Oakley from
Interstate 70. Towering 70 feet above the road on both sides, they have been named a National Natural Landmark by the US Department of the Interior, the first such designation in Kansas. Though they are on private property, the owners are generous enough to allow visitors to walk around these natural wonders. These rocks are the remnants of the western Interior Niobrara seaway which extended from the present day Gulf of Mexico north through Canada. From the exposed sides, visitors can see layers of a gray gypsum mineral deposit and Ostrea congesta shells. On January 29, 2008, Monument Rocks was named as one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas.
