Description

Chimney Rock, in western Nebraska, rises above the praire 325 feet from its base, with the spire alone standing 120 feet. Visible for many miles, it was one of the most recognizable landmark formations to the almost half-million westward travelers along the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails. Chimney Rock's historical significance and picturesque majesty is such that it was chosen to be portrayed on the Nebraska State quarter. Photo taken June, 2006.
