Chimney Rock is a famous geological formation found in Morrill County, western Nebraska.
It measures approximately 91 meters from the base, and is 1,288 meters above sea level.
Virtually any traveler who travels to Nebraska by train will be able to see the Chimney rock, since it served as a reference when building the train tracks in the 19th century, so the Oregon and Mormon trains, the Pony Express, the Lewis and Clark, the Texas-Ogallala, and the Sydney-Deadwood.
It was declared a National Historical Monument on August 9, 1956 and since then the State Historical Society has been in charge of its maintenance and conservation.
Carriages pulled by horses, mules or oxen are the living legend of North American expansion.
From the 18th century until the construction of the railway lines through the American center and west, they were the means of transport used by the colonists in their trips to new territories.
They were introduced by the first German settlers in the 17th century and evolved both in terms of carrying capacity and comfort for their travelers.
An ox cart was capable of 25 kilometers a day, while a family of settlers used to travel a distance of approximately 7,300 kilometers from the East Coast to the Midwest.
The reference to the bright sun on the back is undoubtedly a sign of the high temperatures that occur in the State, for the most part it is a vast desert.
