Hiking, fishing, rock climbing and wildlife viewing

A geological landmark, Devils Tower, know by the native Americans as Bear Lodge is a laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains of the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance, Wyoming, rising dramatically 1267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River and standing 867 feet (225 m) from the base to the summit.

The summit is 5,112 feet (1,559 m) above sea level, and the Devils Tower dominates the surrounding landscape.

Devils Tower was the first national monument, created by President Theodore Roosevelt on September 24, 1906.

Arriving yesterday afternoon, I set up my campsite by putting out my solar panels to provide me with electricity to continue working on my computer all day and even into the evening. However, when it begins to get dark, I put them away into their place within the rear of my vehicle.

I get up early and go to the base of the Devils Tower to walk the one and a half mile trail around the base of the tower. Then I stop at the visitors center to get my map and patch. Here, I find out that this is the first national monument.

As I was leaving Devils Tower national monument, I stopped several times to photograph the tower. At one location, I noticed that a short ways west of the tower was the makings of three more monoliths.
