Devils Tower National Monument

Rock formation rises sharply from evergreen tree covered ground to end in a narrowed flat-topped peak. Caption: (male narrator) There's nothing quite like it.

Devils Tower is a flat-topped volcanic formation that looms more than 1,200 feet above Wyoming’s eastern plains and the Belle Fourche River. The geologic feature protrudes out of the rolling prairie that surrounds the Black Hills. The site is considered sacred to the Lakota and other tribes that have a connection to the area. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest traditional crack climbing areas in North America.
