Description
Photo of Keyhole Arch at Monument Rocks in Gove County, Kansas at sunset. This photo was chosen in 2015 to be used on the front of the Western Kansas Vista Byway Brochure.
Rising as high as 70 feet from the surrounding short grass prairie, this area of Kansas is rich in fossils, having once been part of a large inland sea known as the Interior Niobrara seaway that extended from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. A local county road runs between different sections of �Pyramids� giving the visitor easy access.
One notable and often photographed part of Monument Rocks is what is known as the �Keyhole� or �Keyhole Arch�. Folklore has that this arch started to form many years ago after someone started shooting at the rocks and a bullet went through a thin part of the formations starting what would eventually erode to this cool arch formation. It is likely that erosion will eventually cause this arched opening to disappear dividing this section in two. The �Keyhole Arch� is a popular place for portraits of visitors visiting this unique part of Kansas as well as a great place to capture a beautiful sunset or sunrise picture.
