    The Death Star
    Sarah G.

    I can't tell you how many times I've driven by a sign advertising for Rock City and thought it was just a hokey roadside attraction. After stopping by for the first time about a week ago I can say it is well worth the stop! The rocks are quite large and are very impressive when you consider that they are a natural formation. The gift shop is perfectly quaint, and I'll definitely recommend it as a stop along the road to Colorado to friends and family.

    A good place to stop and stretch your legs during a long road trip. Kids can play and climb and run off some energy. Small gift shop for souvenirs and for paying the small donation/fee. Not much else as far as amenities but a fun stop to breakup time in the car.

    We were in town visiting family for the holidays. There's not much to do in the immediate area (other than drive through town and maybe visit the IPA), so when we heard about Rock City, we were all over it. And Rock City is pretty cool. Yes, it's a bunch of rocks in a field. Yes, about all you can do is climb on the rocks and take photos. This seemed like a riot for all the young kids who where there, and it was a pretty good time for us, too. We returned to the family home and regaled the locals with the story of our trip to Rock City. None of them had ever visited, and thought that we were nuts for wanting to see the rocks. They don't know what they're missing.

    It great, has a small gift shop. It's a little small, but good enough to look around.

    Coronado Heights - S'more at the fire pit

    Wow! Visiting Coronado Heights was one of the highlights of my trip to south central Kansas. Kansas…read moreisn't known for its elevation, but this is one place in the area where you can feel like you're up high. In reality, it's just a hill, sitting in front of a plain, asking you to love it. But it's a pretty neat hill, Coronado Heights is. And on the top of the hill is a castle! Yes, there's a real castle here, which you can explore. It's believed that Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and his soldiers used this area as a lookout point because it sits about 300 feet above the prairie. All kinds of historical items have been found in this area that back up this idea, including bits of chain mail and Spanish coins. I visited around sunset, which is a beautiful time to visit. There are a few picnic areas that you can use, with fire pits, grills and tables. The people I was with had the foresight to bring some marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, so we made some s'mores and enjoyed them in the twilight near the castle. It was a beautiful time. One thing to note: The restrooms are primitive (aka port-a-potties).

    This place is advertised as the "best view in kansas", i wouldn't say that, but It's a good view!…read moreWe really wanted to see the history behind this place but there were limited signs. You gotta look it up yourself. With that being said, this is a great place to visit. There are cool structures, lots of tables for picnics, and a bathroom. The castle has stairs you can walk up which allows you to look over the edge. In the fall this would be beautiful!!

    Beautiful park! We started our hike at Buffalo Track Canton Nature Trailhead, which is located a…read moreshort drive into Kanopolis Lake State Park. This trailhead has two entrance points, and one is usually more manicured than the other. We didn't know there was a difference at the time and took the path less traveled and less tended to. Which was unfortunate for us because we were walking through tall grasses and brush, which was uncomfortable because some of the people I was hiking with were wearing shorts. So, if you want a more pleasant hike, make sure you're taking the hiking trail that has been mowed. Other than slapping away plants and hoping we weren't transporting ticks, the hike was great and the scenery here is beautiful. Our trail was a little less than a mile one way, and led us to a really cool cave with rocks that looked like the profile of a person! We checked out the cave for a while, then headed back. Once you're at the cave, you do have an option to travel down another trail to go farther into the park, but we chose to just head back. There's a lake here and other things, but we only visited the park to hike. We had a great time hiking, though! This part of Kansas is beautiful, and walking through Kanopolis is a great way to experience some of it.

    Great camping spot and lake. Shower facilities could use some cleaning and updated paint but…read moreoverall a really nice spot.
