Many of the interesting sights in the Great Plains can be found on private property (thank you Homestead Act of 1862). Fortunately, landowners in these parts are generous about granting public access. Case in point: the Monument Rocks in Gove County, Kansas. These limestone monoliths were once part of an ancient seabed that covered what is now rolling prairie. There were about a zillion swallow nests built onto the rocks high up. Somehow each bird knew exactly which one to return to to feed their young.
We did a good job of following the rules here: don't leave trash and don't harass the cattle.
