Castle Rock
Thousands of years ago, the Kansas prairie was under water; minnows instead of flies, starfish instead of grasshoppers. And while underwater, these chalky castles formed, now limestone bluffs that loom over the grassland like medieval fortresses. Castle Rock is about an hour drive from Hays, West down I-70 and then fifteen miles down rocky, dirt roads that seem to go nowhere until suddenly you hit this majestic rock formation amid the silence.

Sophie, Your mommy takes you to such interesting places. You are so blessed..I miss you all and can't wait to see all of you soon.
Love, GRANDMA IN N.C.
What was the inspiration to find Castle Rock?? Beautiful place...it was one of the first places Joel ever took me when I first visited KS. If you are ever up for it we also know this little known spot we call "little Jerusalem" It's like a deep set (valley like sort of) maze of limestone formations on someone's property. We can make a travel date sometime, if you like.
