    During the Cretaceous Period, the entire American midwest was a tropical inland seaway dividing North America into Appalachia and the west coast (then called Laramidia). The abundance of layered sedimentary rock formations – such as the stone shelves that line this portion of the trail – were formed by sediment falling to the ocean floor and are evidence of that ancient sea.
