Chimneys, natural and unnatural












On our vacation we stopped by the Natural Chimneys. The first thing we noticed when we pulled into the parking lot was the very unnatural chimney in sight. Apparently there had been a home there once, and all that remained was the chimney and patio. We couldn't resist the photo op.











The actual Natural Chimneys are not too far from the parking lot. Once you pass a few buildings the park opens up to reveal the large rock towers. You can enjoy them from the open field, hike through the woods around them, and you can visit some of the "caves."








Nearby is a river that also has a hiking path, but the water was flowing too quickly for us to cool off our feet. We sat in the sun by the edge, though, and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
