Landform

Twin sandstone pillars over a ponderosa hill in the San Juan Basin — Colorado’s monument, not Nebraska’s chimney.

Field note

Chimney Rock and Companion Rock sit on the same ridge. Ponderosa holds the slope. This is the Archuleta County monument west of Pagosa, not a prairie chimney in another state.
