About To Hike
ginger.jengibre posted a photo:
Half of the group walked Sulphur Creek (carrying a ladder and using it to descend the rock walls in order to follow the creek), but WE opted for the Chimney Trail . . . and it was a great choice --- next time, Sulphur Creek.
North of UT 24 just inside the west entrance to Capitol Reef National Park is the Chimney Rock Trail. The trail quickly ascends the side of the mesa, following switchbacks as the slope increases. After a 300-foot climb you are at the beginning of the loop trail. The loop trail circles the top of Mummy Cliff to the south of Chimney Rock, though part of the same formation.
Chimney Rock was once part of the same sediment bed that solidified into the Mummy Cliff and the rest of the mesa. As the mesa eroded further over the millennia, Chimney Rock withstood the tests of time. Made of harder stone, or positioned just right so as to be able to shrug off the winds and stone-splitting frosts, the natural landmark is more resistant to erosion than the surrounding sandstone.
