Chimney Rock
Picture taken from the visitor center.
The shape reminds me of The Spire in Dublin, Ireland, a tall aluminum needle, known affectionately as The Stiffy at the Liffey; also, The Erection at the Intersection. Irish folks like to give things nicknames, especially lewd nicknames. The well-endowed bronze statue of Molly Malone - also in Dublin - is another example: The Tart With the Cart, The Trollop With the Scallop, The Dish With the Fish, The Flirt With the Skirt.
Got lost in the moment there, sorry, must be the Irish in me.
C-Rock was perhaps the most significant milestone on the Oregon Trail, as it marked the completion of the first third of the journey. We visited the Rock a couple days ago.
