Chimney Rock – Place to visit on the Oregon National Historic Trail

Rising more than 300 feet above the surrounding landscape, Chimney Rock is visible for miles. Its grand spire served as a marker for trail travelers on the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express national historic trails. Inspiring awe in those who saw it, Chimney Rock was mentioned in more emigrant diaries than any other feature along the Oregon Trail. This Nebraska icon continues to inspire awe and curiosity in visitors today. Thirty minutes’ drive east of Gering and Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and just south of the town of Bayard, is the Ethel & Christopher J Abbott Visitor Center. There you can explore the history of the overland migration through interactive exhibits, and artifacts on display. Discover the realities and misconceptions that surrounded and influenced the meeting of Native and emigrant peoples, and try your hand at packing a wagon for the journey.
