Devil's Tower

Just below boulder field

Western side, about 5pm MTN.

We begin the 1-plus mile hike around the base.

Southern exposure

Eastern side, the side where the landing strip was in "Close Encounters" (actually all moderately wooded).

North side. 2 climbers on ledge just above branches on left. Not sure I got them in this photo. Seemed they were descending.

Oldest formations in area, with Tower in background.

That's so amazing. I remember having this Exploring North America book when I was in Elementary school and I thought Devil's Tower was always pretty cool to actually go visit. These are great shots. Still haven't been there yet, but soon.

I was there about 5 years ago. Rode my motorcycle to Sturgis for the big rally and made it a part of the 3500 mile journey. It was fun, but when I got home to San Diego I crashed for 3 days straight!

America is a beautiful land.

Great photos.

Climbed it in 1984. Fun climb on good rock. The view from the summit is awesome.

Had not thought about it for years. Thanks for bringing those memories back.
