From DeSmet, Trish and I traveled to Devil’s Tower National Monument in Wyoming. This was the very first National Monument established in the National Park System. Devil’s Tower is the largest magma intrusion in the world and, in Native land, is the subject of many myths and legends.
Devil’s Tower was the major film location for “Close Encounters…” and there are lots of reminders of that when you visit.
Trish and I stayed at Devil’s Tower Lodge while we were here. This is a place where people who are climbing the Tower start and finish. We had dinner with staff people who climb to the top several times a week and with tourists who were on their first climb. We had no interest at all in such an adventure, but, the view from our room was spectacular!
Devil’s Tower is not near anything. You have to be coming here to get here, but, it is a trip well worth the travel.
