Chimney Rock
No single sight along the Oregon trail and the Mormon Trails attracted more attention than Chimney Rock south of Scottsbluff. Rising 475 feet above the Platte River, the natural tower served as a beacon to pioneers.
Tired travelers described it in many ways during the three to four days it was part of the horizon. For some it created mirage-like effects.
Hundreds of names were scratched on the soft base. The names have eroded away , but the tower remains, as do the references in faded diaries that attest Chimney Rock was one of the celebrated landmarks on the pioneer trunk lines west.
Our last stop on the Platte River Highway is Morrill, Nebraska. It is 15 miles from Scottsbluff to Morrill. You will need to jog 7 miles. We are almost to the end of the trail. Keep up the good work . We will meet you in Morrill.

Body Composition
The best activities to reduce body fat are those like jogging and bicycling, that involves steady motion of the large muscles. They create a need for oxygen and raise the heart rate. Activities that you can do nonstop for at least 12 minutes are good for reducing body fat.
