Chimney Rock is named after the towering rock formation in the middle of the trail. The best views of the formation come if you drive the trail from south to north. However, it can be driven in any direction and is suitable for any high-clearance vehicle. It follows the Continental Divide Trail; you will typically see thru-hikers in summer. The trail has several aspen groves to drive through and would be an excellent leaf-peeping trail. It has a handful of pre-disturbed campsites scattered throughout the National Forest-managed area. The southern third of the route is less wooded and follows through state trust land, and camping is prohibited. It is common to see moose in the area, and it's best never to approach them.
