About this spot
Kodachrome Basin State Park is home to a wonderland of colorful rock and 69 towering sandstone chimneys or sandpipes. These usual rock spires range form 6 to 170 feet in height and jut up out of the rock or valley floor at random locations. The park is noted for its color and contrast, which prompted the National Geographic Society to name the the basin after the famous Kodachrome slide film in 1948.
Chimney Rock, reportedly at over 170 feet tall, is the tallest of the sandpipes in the park.
