Devils Tower National Monument
We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
Devils Tower National Monument, located in northeastern Wyoming, is a striking geologic wonder that towers over the surrounding grassland and Ponderosa pine forests. This 867-foot natural monolith, formed by molten rock cooling and hardening, is a sacred site for many Native American tribes and was the first landmark to be declared a United States National Monument in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Its unique, columnar structure is a sight to behold and has made it a popular destination for rock climbers from around the world.
While visiting, one can explore the 1.3-mile Tower Trail that encircles the base of the monument, offering different perspectives of the tower and opportunities to spot local wildlife. The visitor center provides insight into the cultural and natural history of the area. For a more immersive experience, the Monument’s night sky program offers a chance to gaze at the stars in one of the darkest skies in the country, unspoiled by light pollution.
