Anchoring the northeast corner of Wyoming is the country's first national monument—Devils Tower. A laccolithic butte that is made up of igneous rocks, Devils Tower is a jaw-dropping geological feature that rises 867 feet above Wyoming's rolling prairies. While Devils Tower National Monument garnered significant attention as the backdrop in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the tower is sacred to many Nothern Plains Indian tribes, as well as the Kiowa Tribe, who made their homes in the Black Hills region. With oral storytelling and a history that dates back thousands of years, today American Indian tribes continue to hold sacred ceremonies at the tower, including sweat lodges and sun dances. With a rich history that combines the country's First Nations with cowboys, rock climbers and incredible night skies, Devils Tower is a must-visit destination in Wyoming.
because it is
Actually Jerry Gibson is wrong. Architecture is human made, this is a natural wonder. I have seen nothing like it in a long life of world travels. It is literally awesome.
Unusual geological formation; pictures cannot do it justice. You totally get it when there. Huge spiritual significance to Native Americans and wonderful site for rock climbers.
It's cool
It's a very unique land formation. There is nothing like it for miles around. Native Americans consider it a sacried place. Its nice to have it protected, in it's natural state, for everyone to enjoy.
Architectural wonder
