When you think of Kansas, what comes to mind? Wheat fields? Sunflowers? Dorothy and Toto? I’m sure one of the last things people picture is Kansas having some pretty “out-of-this-world” geologic sites and attractions, but we do! Here are eight of these Kansas locations that will make you swear you’re on another planet:
1. Castle Rock (Gove County)
The reddish ground and massive rocks make me think of Mars, not Kansas.
2. Monument Rocks (Gove County)
The massive chalk formations will leave you believing you aren't in Kansas anymore...
3. Arikaree Breaks (Cheyenne County)
I don't know about you, but I happen to think that these deep three-mile canyons look like an extraterrestrial breeding ground...
4. Subterra Castle (Dover)
No, you're not flying around in a space station; Subterra Castle is a Cold War missile silo turned home!
5. Echo Cliff Park (Dover)
I fear that these brave explorers may get sucked in by that hungry looking crevice...
6. Kansas Underground Salt Museum (Hutchinson)
Located 650 feet underground, Strataca is a salt mine that is built within one of the world’s largest deposits of rock salt...It is truly nothing of this world!
7. Rock City (Minneapolis)
THAT WOMAN IS BEING EATEN BY AN ALIEN DISGUISED AS A ROCK!!!
8. World's Largest Czechoslovakian Egg (Wilson)
I remember this scene from "Alien"--and it doesn't end well.
Which Kansas attractions do you find to be the most “out-of-this-world”?
