We packed up our camp and headed to the Tower. Devils Tower is volcanic in nature, the theory is that hundreds of thousands of years ago, magma welled up inside a soft mountain, and over the eons the mountain eroded away, leaving the hardened tower we see today. We stopped at the visitor center first, then we walked the trail around the mountain, and up it as high as we could get without technical climbing permits. Tyler clambered up the rocks like a billy goat! We wat...

I have vivid memories of Devils Tower from my early childhood! I remember clearly running through the tower trail through the boulders to find my mother, I remember sitting at the cafe near the entrance if the park with my family reading a Native American legend about how the tower came into existence, and I remember the excitement in my heart when I first looked up at the tower.. The tower has fascinated me ever since and I was ecstatic to finally had the chance to revisit the Tower when I w...

Even though I couldn't make it to Devil's Tower before sunset, I wasn't worried. I had my tripod in the car and the waning sun could still provide enough light if I just held my camera shutter open manually. It wasn't until after I drove the extra 30 miles to the tower, accepted the fact that NO ONE would be around to help if something happened and fumbled with my tripod in the dark for a good twenty minutes, that I realized I had NO IDEA how to do that with my camera! The end result was a ha...

Got up at 6:00am and headed north to Livingston, Montana. Stopped by McDonalds for a quick breakfast and got on I-90 East. Our first stop on our trip is Devils Tower, Wyoming. It was 31 miles from I-90. A beautiful drive and lots of animals to see. For instance, horses, cows, antelope, and deer. We started off in Montana and went through Wyoming and into South Dakota.
Devils Tower is awesome. When you first drive into the park you pass a large group of prairie dogs running and barking. Cute ...

We were worried about the cracked windshield so we marked the end of the crack. By the time we had driven a few miles, the crack had extended past the mark so it was still growing. We decided not to continue driving with a cracked windshield and went to the Rapid City National rental people to exchange this car for another. The National agents were very helpful and the new car process only took about half an hour. We’d never had to exchange a car before (even though ...

We got up early this morning and headed for Devils Tower in Wyoming. It was only a 2 1/2 hour drive from where we were. We got there and it was already in the mid 90's but the heat didn't diminish the enormity of the tower. I've never seen anything like it before. You could see it from a distance and once you got closer you were astounded by the enormity of it! Dad and I could just stare at it. We didn't go up into the actual park b/c we figured it was a waste of time seeing it any closer tha...

This imposing obelisk rises out of the ground into the sky to be seen for miles on your approach. Located in eastern Wyoming, Devils Tower is worth the trip from the Black Hills portion of South Dakota. Prairie dogs surround the rock temple.

We left the campsite/lodge at about 10am and stopped off at
a couple of picturesque stops at the badlands. Mike, Ji, Art and I climbed up
some pretty high hill things and on the last really high stop I couldn’t get
down properly and ended up skidding down a 10m drop on my ass using my leg and
hand to stop luckily it was just kind of soil rock so it only really grazed me.
No doubt tomorrow my ass will hurt!
We left the badlands and headed to the town of Wall, to see “Wall Drugâ...

After our break in Cheyenne, it was an uneventful trip to Devil's Tower. It had been raining when we started out that morning, but by the Wyoming border that was a memory. As we got close to the tower I kept waiting for it to appear. It would an then would hide behind another hill. We were right on top of it before we got a really good look. It is big. We got there about 2 pm and walked around the trails, ate lunch, and enjoyed the scenery for about two hours. Then were were off to Belle Four...
