Rock City is a little-known geological park in Kansas containing 200 outcrops of Dakota sandstone that have eroded into enormous spheres up to 27 feet in diameter — the world's largest concentration of concretions. The spheres rise from the prairie like giant marbles scattered by a god. One local farmer started charging admission in 1947 and built a miniature golf course beside prehistoric geology.
