Chimney Rock



My favorite is Chimney Rock. It was a very important site for our pioneers as they traveled west on the Oregon Trail and the Mormon Trail. They could see it for miles and knew they had made it to a landmark on their way west. There is a good visitor's center at Chimney Rock. It's hard to understand how hard it must have been to walk or ride in the wagons hundreds of miles to reach this point.
