Devils Tower National Monument
Devils Tower, Wyoming | 186 Miles
The country’s first national monument—designated in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt—Devils Tower is an iconic 867-foot tall rock butte with a unique, column-like surface. The tower, referred to as Mato Tipila (Bear Lodge) by the Lakota, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance to many Northern Plains American Indian tribes.
Located in the Black Hills of northeast Wyoming, the tower measures about 1,000 feet in diameter at its base and 275 feet at the top, making it a popular rock climbing destination. The park attracts some 500,000 visitors each year, of which approximately 5,000 are rock climbers.
