Devils Tower National Monument - All questions

Address: WY-110, Devils Tower, WY 82714, USA

Shikhar Sachan | Jan 20, 2018

Its an unique rock formation. According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades. Otherwise its an igneous rock formation.

This is a volcano that has petrified. It is amazing. We were gonna just drive by but someone talked us into going the next morning up to the base and walking around. We are sooo glad we did! A total different experience being right up to it. You must go and see for your self!

A simple Google will give you all the info you could ask for. As well, YouTube has videos of those who have climbed to the top. It's worth a visit.

Complete nonsense. That story was parody. Its the core of an extinct volcano.
