Driving through the countryside of northeastern Wyoming a most unusual sight rises up through the trees and fields surrounding it. Devils Tower stands like a megalithic monument dedicated to an ancient race of giants.
You couldn’t ask for a better location. It looks much closer than it really is.
Standing at the bottom and looking up you realize just how mammoth this rock pillar is.
After visiting the Tower we bought the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind to watch with the children. Willow still carves the Devils Tower out of her mashed potatoes. By the way if you want to buy the movie wait and buy it in the park’s gift shop. It’s twice as expensive at the Devils Tower Trading Post.
Had the opportunity to visit Devil’s Tower on a road trip from Indiana to Washington State. I am always tempted to carve a replica with my mashed potatoes. 🙂 Great post! ❤
