For some it's a sacred place of worship. To others, it's a geological wonder. No matter what it means to you, one visit tells you that Devils Tower National Monument is a beautiful sight to behold. Located in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming,
President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower the first national monument in 1906. This nearly vertical monolith rises 1,267 feet above the meandering Belle Fourche River. Once hidden beneath the earth's surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing the hard rock tower below. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, Devils Tower is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians.
