Chimney Rock, Rock formation in Montezuma County, United States.

Chimney Rock is a 6,110-foot sandstone pillar in Ute Mountain Tribal Park, Montezuma County, Colorado. It rises 900 feet above the Mancos River Valley, one mile southeast of the junction of U.S. Routes 491 and 160. The cliff-forming Point Lookout Sandstone sits atop a softer pedestal of Mancos Shale.

Chimney Rock is also called Jackson Butte, after William Henry Jackson (1843–1942), the photographer and explorer who visited the area during the Hayden Survey. He was the first to photograph the cliff dwellings of the Mesa Verde region in the Four Corners area.

The pillar is also called Jackson Butte, after William Henry Jackson, the photographer and explorer of the Hayden Survey who was the first to photograph the cliff dwellings of the Mesa Verde region. The landmark stands inside Ute Mountain Tribal Park, a reservation area of the Ute Mountain Ute people.

Chimney Rock stands one mile southeast of the junction of U.S. Route 491 and US 160 in Montezuma County, inside Ute Mountain Tribal Park. The pillar rises 900 feet above the Mancos River Valley floor, so it is seen from the road and from the surrounding tribal park land rather than from a trailhead of its own.
