Devils Tower WY 09 09 2020

 Devils Tower in Wyoming 

is just unreal.  It just doesn't look like it belongs in nature.  How did that massive rock/mountain get there?

Well, I have read explanations and all, and I still don't totally get it.

It is considered a spiritual site by many Native Americans.  It is considered an alien hotspot by many people too.

It is America's First National Monument and that makes it interesting on a lot of levels.

We stopped by in 2012 and 2020.  Both times we hiked around the Tower and just had a really pleasant time.

Right now, they are doing some upgrades in and near the 

parking area, and to the visitor center.  The visitor center hasn't been upgraded since 1935!

There is a lively prairie dog town as you drive in.  We stopped to enjoy the playfulness of the little guys.

There is a great post office right before you pay your entry fee (get your postcards hand canceled with a Devils Tower post office postmark!).  There is also the VERY cool Devils Tower Trading Post gift shop before you go in to the park.

Check out the video I posted to youtube about our most recent trip to Devils Tower!
