mushroomrksd1.jpg (24787 bytes)Balanced rocks are a fascinating work of nature.  There are two balanced rocks in a 5 acre state park south west of Salina.  The chances of a stone ending up balanced on a pinnacle like this are incredibly small, and to have two large examples so close together is pretty neat.  The first one (large photo) is south of the road, and the other one is located just north of the road.
