Pawnee Rock State Historic Site |
To
travelers on the Santa Fe Trail, this sandstone citadel marked the
halfway point of the trail and was one of the most prominent landmarks
on their long journey. Native Americans were said to have met at
Pawnee Rock and reputedly used it as a vantage point to spot bison
herds and approaching wagon trains. Stand atop Pawnee Rock while
learning about the Santa Fe Trail, enjoy a picnic under the shaded
pavilion, and contemplate the rich history of the Santa Fe Trail
traders and the Pawnee Indians. |
