MASTODON STATE PARK
Jefferson County, Missouri
During the Ice Age, over 10,000 years ago Mastodons roamed this area. This is the entrance to Mastodon State Park, the Kimswick Bonebed, on I-55. Photographed: 13 August 1999 |
Steps leading to trail. It's not too bad when you start as you are going down the steps but after hiking the 1/2-1 mile trail it just seems like there are more steps going back up! |
Bluff at old quarry site along trail. Photographed: 13 August 1999 |
Bone bed trail is 1/2 - 1 mile long. Beautiful scenery. |
A rabbit was sitting by the side of the trail so I just snapped his picture as we went by! |
