Sponsored Links:

Intro

The nearly vertical monolith known as Devils Tower rises 1,267
feet above the meandering Belle Fourche River. It is the remnant
of an ancient volcanic feature. Known by several northern plains
tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American
Indians. The rolling hills of this 1,347 acre park are covered with
pine forests, deciduous woodlands, and prairie grasslands. Deer,
prairie dogs, and other wildlife are abundant. Proclaimed September
24, 1906 as the nation's first national monument by President Theodore
Roosevelt.
