Chimney Rock, New Mexico

Chimney Rock


We found the Riana Campground on a reservoir, near Chimney Rock, a great federal campground with water and electricity. This is one of the few hikes that is labeled as a Gem Attraction by AAA. I could see why. It’s a 3 mile hike round trip, but fairly steep. But the golden rocks of Chimney Rock contrast with the red rocks that surround it. The 360 degree view is terrific. Chimney Rock was one of the fire signal points for the Chaco Culture.
