CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NEBRASKA! Chimney Rock, Carhenge, Scottsbluff National Monument!
My husband and I are on a 12 day road trip through the United States. In our previous video you'll see the Nebraska Sandhills, which I found a super unique landscape. In this video we see more of the landscapes of Western Nebraska. First, we saw the Chimney Rock, which used to be a landmark for people traveling on the Oregon Trails in the 19th century. Then, we drove up a mountain (yes, we are still in Nebraska!) in Scottsbluff National Monument. Then finally, we got to visit the Carhenge. It's like the Stonehenge, except it is much younger and we know it's purpose. We both used to live in Nebraska, and we dreamt of going there for a while. We thought this was such a cool monument! Enjoy! Subscribe to follow our journey!

Chimney Rock CR365 Drone Flyover
CR365 Photo Project flies a drone over Chimney Rock National Historical Monument in Bayard Nebraska, provided by Duck Haven Outfitters. Thanks to Kevin Soto for all his help. Watch for the eagle taking off on the left side of the Rock at 2:11 ...can barely see it. Theres a nest there but due to high wind we didnt get close enough to view it very well. The main purpose of this video was to document erosion and the current condition of Chimney Rock, as we have been photographing the hole and crack in the rock from the ground. facebook.com/365cr duckhavenoutfitters.com

Chimney Rock, The most picturesque landmark along the Oregon trail in Nebraska, California
Chimney Rock, located in Morrill County in western Nebraska, California. A prominent geological rock formation Rising nearly 300 feet above the surrounding North Platte River valley, the peak of Chimney Rock is 4,226 feet above sea level. During the middle 19th century it served as a landmark along the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, and the Mormon Trail, which ran along the north side of the rock. It is visible for many miles from the east along U.S. Route 26. It was first recorded mention of Chimney Rock was in 1827 by Joshua Pilcher, but in 1813 it was first non-natives to see the pillar were probably the Astorians of Robert Stuart in their eastern journey from the Pacific Ocean.

It went through a variety of names before becoming Chimney Rock such as Chimley Rock, Chimney Tower, and Elk's Peak, but Chimney Rock had become the most commonly used name by the 1840's.
The pillar consists primarily of Brule clay interlayered with volcanic ash and Arikaree sandstone. The harder sandstone layers near the top have protected the pillar since it broke away from the retreating cliff line to the south, dating back to the Oligocene Age around 34 million to 23 million years ago. Chimney Rock rises approximately 286 feet above its surroundings. Some travelers believed that the rock spire may have been upwards of 30 feet higher than its current height, suggesting that wind, erosion, or a lightning strike had caused the top part of the spire to break off. It is approximately 6.5 km. South of the current Bayard in Millard County. Today it was Chimney Rock was designated a National Historic Site on August 9, 1956 and is a National Park Service affiliated area.

SCOTTS BLUFF || CHIMNEY ROCK || NEBRASKA || TWO WEEK RV ROAD TRIP || SN. 1 || Ep. 10
Experiencing the beauty of Western Nebraska is accentuated by the history and tales of Scotts Bluff National Monument and Chimney Rock. They are geological wonders that nearly everyone heard of growing up in textbooks....or at least while playing Oregon Trail back in the '90s.
Continuing our two week RV road trip, we didn't have high expectations when we traveled to Scottsbluff, Nebraska to see these historical locations, but were taken by surprise. The countryside is breathtaking and the significance of these landmarks is etched in every part of the surrounding areas.
Come explore #Nebraska with us as we tour some of the most recognized and mentioned landmarks along the Oregon Trail: #Scottsbluff, #ChimneyRock, and Courthouse and Jail Rock. We also visit a very-budget friendly but entertaining zoo and show you around our campsite at #LakeMinatare.

Chimney Rock - Designado como Sítio Histórico Nacional Chimney Rock, Chimney Rock é um dos marcos mais famosos e reconhecíveis para viajantes pioneiros nas trilhas do Oregon, Califórnia e Mórmon, um símbolo da grande migração ocidental. Localizada a aproximadamente seis quilômetros ao sul da atual Bayard, na borda sul do vale do rio North Platte, a Chimney Rock é uma formação geológica natural, um remanescente da erosão dos penhascos na borda do vale do norte Platte. Um pináculo delgado sobe 325 pés de uma base cônica. A imponente formação, composta por camadas de cinzas vulcânicas e argila brule que datam da Idade do Oligoceno (34 a 23 milhões de anos atrás), se eleva a 480 pés acima do vale do rio North Platte.

North Platte - Explore North Platte. A casa de Buffalo Bill tem muitas opções excelentes para quem quer se divertir e, se você quiser se divertir, procure o Buffalo of Approval de Buffalo Bill. Bill concedeu isso às atrações, atividades e eventos que certamente deixarão um sorriso em seu rosto. Desde ótimas atividades ao ar livre, a saborear bebidas elaboradas localmente, a explorar a história única da região, você encontrará algo para todos em North Platte. Originalmente, o Scout's Rest Ranch de 4000 acres, o parque histórico agora consiste em 16 acres que contêm a casa de Buffalo Bill, além de celeiros, dependências e uma variedade de outros recursos. A casa é a mansão do 2º Império de Cody, construída em 1886 a um custo de US $ 3.900, que foi restaurada e preenchida com móveis apropriados para o período, além de uma tonelada de memorabilia de Buffalo Bill.

Cânions de Loess - Quando Todd e Laura McWha preservaram sua pradaria Loess Canyons de 304 acres ao sul de Brady em dezembro passado, era na verdade a segunda pradaria que eles haviam preservado para sempre. Anteriormente, eles haviam completado uma servidão de conservação em uma pradaria de Sandhillstrecho intocado de Birdwood Creek. Graças ao financiamento fornecido pelo Projeto Eólico Broken Bow II, eles foram capazes de adicionar os Loess Canyons ao seu legado de conservação da pradaria protegida no Condado de Lincoln. Também foi acrescentado ao legado de conservação do Nebraska Land Trust (NLT) nos Loess Canyons, onde 3.278 acres foram agora permanentemente conservados por meio de cinco acordos de proprietários de terras.

Kearney - No final de fevereiro a abril, todos os olhos estão voltados para os meio milhão de guindastes de areia que migram por Kearney ao longo do vale do rio Platte. Abaixe seu binóculo para ver o que mais esta cidade tem a oferecer, especialmente para os amantes de museus: siga a migração de colonos ocidentais em The Archway. Saiba mais sobre seu estilo de vida dentro dos edifícios de época do Parque Histórico Estadual de Fort Kearny, o primeiro forte construído para proteger os viajantes na Trilha do Oregon. Ou faça a sua escolha - do Museu Infantil da área de Kearney à Coleção de carros clássicos e ao Museu de arte de Nebraska.
Forte Kearny - O primeiro Fort Kearny foi construído em 1847 na cidade de Nebraska, consistindo de uma casamata solitária de troncos situada no topo de uma colina sobre o rio Missouri. Os soldados que retornavam da Guerra do México passaram o inverno lá. No entanto, apenas um ano depois, os militares decidiram que o local foi mal escolhido e um novo forte foi construído a cerca de duzentas milhas a oeste na margem sul do rio Platte e a meio caminho entre Forts Leavenworth, Kansas e Fort Laramie, Wyoming.

Explore Nebraska, Chimney Rock, by Sheriff Mike
Chimney Rock is a prominent geological rock formation in Morrill County in western Nebraska. Rising nearly 300 feet (91 m) above the surrounding North Platte River valley, the peak of Chimney Rock is 4,228 feet (1,289 m) above sea level.[1] The formation served as a landmark along the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, and the Mormon Trail during the mid-19th century. The trails ran along the north side of the rock, which remains a visible landmark for modern travelers along U.S. Route 26 and Nebraska Highway 92.
Prior to exploration and settlement by European immigrants, the Native Americans of the area—mainly the Lakota Sioux—would refer to this formation by a term which meant elk penis.[2][3] The first non-natives to see the pillar were probably the Astorians of Robert Stuart in their eastward journey from the Pacific Ocean in 1813. Chimney Rock was recorded in many journals after the Stuart expedition.[4]
The name Chimney Rock probably originated from early fur traders.[5] The first recorded mention of Chimney Rock was in 1827 by Joshua Pilcher. Pilcher had journeyed up the Platte River valley to the Salt Lake rendezvous of the Rocky Mountain fur trappers. The formation went through a variety of names before becoming Chimney Rock such as Chimley Rock and Chimney Tower, as well as euphemisms based on the original Native American name, such as Elk's Peak and Elk Brick.[5][3]
A small town named Chimney Rock once stood near the base of the formation.[6] A post office was established at the town of Chimney Rock in 1913, and remained in operation until 1922.[7]
Based on sketches, paintings, written accounts, and the 1897 photograph by Darton, Chimney Rock was taller when it was first seen by settlers, but has since been reduced in height by erosion and lightning.
