The Devil's Tower National Monument

  I had planned on blogging once after our entire stay in the Black Hills area but it looks like it may be several blogs. I hope you don't mind.

  Today we drove 63 miles west to the Devil's Tower National Monument. I'm sure you're familiar with the location or at least the monument itself. It's been in movies (Close Encounters Of The Third Kind) TV and magazines.  But to really get the full effect you NEED to see it in person. There's a reason it's one of the Seven Wonders Of The World,  it is magnificent. So much so that you almost believe it's man made. There several different groups of people climbing when we arrived and if you look close at some of the photos below you can see them. You're able to walk around the entire monument there. It's a 1.3 walk on a paved path, and if you go, take the walk.
