Echo Cliff

Discovered a hidden gem of Kansas geology this weekend at Echo Cliff near Dover just outside of Topeka. It started at the sunflower field near Lawrence - where the boy discovered some Sioux Quartzite and got really interested in my stories of glaciers and how the rocks ended up in Kansas so far from their home in Minnesota.

That lead us to the Kansas Geological Survey site, which noted an anomalous sandstone deposit less than an hour from our home. The sites we found had less than impressive photos, but they hinted at something interesting - and that called for a road trip.


There is an echo - and some bizarre steam punk out houses, picnic tables

and wild folk art trash cans. But the landscape looks alien to Kansas.
