Today’s hike on the Chimney Shelter Trail near Kittredge is actually just a short spur off the Bear Creek Cutoff from O’Fallon Park. I don’t know about the “shelter” part unless you’re willing to climb inside with the ashes. But the “chimney” part is pretty impressive as 40′ tall stone monuments go, at least those without any apparent purpose. Well, no purpose other than keeping local stone masons off the bread lines during the Great Depression I guess.
Brief history the chimney in O’Fallon Park is here.
