"The Chimney Rock Trail highlights Capitol Reef's geology, in both up-close views and broad panoramas. The trail initially climbs steeply alongside a fault ... once atop the bluff, hikers are rewarded with excellent views of Chimney Rock, the western escarpment of the Waterpocket Fold, and the high, volcanic plateau of Boulder Mountain to the southwest. The landscape's intense colors are at their peak just before sunset. This shadeless trail can be hot in summer; carry water, and use caution near cliff edges."
