Located on the Western Trails Scenic Byway just outside of Bayard, Nebraska, Chimney Rock National Historic Site was one of the most famous and recognizable landmarks for pioneers on the Oregon Trail.

Chimney Rock is a natural geologic formation. It is a remnant of the erosion of the bluffs at the edge of the North Platte River Valley.
