Chimney Rock
Pioneer trail beacon
Chimney Rock is a name given to numerous rock formations across the American West—tall, narrow spires of stone that resemble chimneys.
The most famous stands in western Nebraska, a landmark on the Oregon Trail that emigrants recorded in countless journals: We could see Chimney Rock for days before we reached it.
Other notable formations bearing the name appear in North Carolina, Colorado, and elsewhere.
