Devils Tower... monumental!
Devils Tower rises 1267 feet above the Belle Fourche River. This 1347 acre park is covered with pine forests, woodlands, and grasslands. Deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife roam everywhere. Also known as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site for many American Indians. President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower the first national monument in 1906.
Devils Tower boasts a rich and colorful climbing history that dates back to the late 1800s when it was first climbed by two local ranchers using a wooden ladder. Climbers from all over the world consider Devils Tower to be a unique and premier climbing area. While we had no desire whatsoever to climb this majestic peak, we did enjoy admiring it from a distance and up close.
