Devils Tower National Monument

Devil’s Tower National Monument is a sky high western icon that now serves as a killer backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. Explore the nation’s first national monument on the Joyner Ridge Trail, take in the beauty of the surrounding black hills, and perhaps spy the nesting prairie falcons. It’s totally possible to climb this behemoth masterpiece which is sacred to over 20 native tribes, there are closures to preserve that sanctity of the tower so be sure to check ahead of time. Beyond the trails is Prairie Dog Town, chock full of the cutest members of the weasel family or check out the stunning Sacred Smoke Sculpture, a homage to the tribes who call this sacred place home. Rest your head beneath the shadow of the tower at one of the parks campsites or simply roll through for a lesson in history and sheer rockin’ geological awesomeness!
