2 reviews for Devil's Tower National Monument
Why is it that geological wonders must be christened to be the work of the the devil. Why can't we ask the native Indians be asked rename this place instead.
In the middle of rolling hills, it seemed like some giant child dropped his toy block. This geological wonder is a must see, if you are in the area. And if not, then try to make a trip out here.
The walk around Devils Tower is a easy 1/2 brisk walk. The paved trails make it easy for the disabled and the elderly.
If you like a more risk adventure, try rock climbing up to the top.
Anyone of a certain age will remember this as the setting where the aliens from "Close Encounters of a Third Kind" landed. But there is really nothing either alien or diabolical about it. It is a beautiful and impressive natural wonder, the largest of its kind in the world. (It formed when a magma plug that could not quite make it to become a volcano froze and the sandstone around it eroded.) It is an easy hike to walk the 1.5 mile circumference on fairly level trail. If you are more adventurous you can hike up and down the hill that forms its base and if you are really adventurous you can get a climbing permit. If photogrpahs very well due it its round nature and the ability to view it friom any direction.
