Description
I was chatting with the bartender in a café in Keystone SD, telling him I was planning to drive over to Wyoming. He pulled up a photo of Devils Tower in Wyoming and said I might want to head there! So I checked my maps, figured it was do-able, and set off for a great day of hiking and photographing. Native American tribes long recognized this location through stories and legends. The first documented Caucasians visitors were part of an 1859 expedition to Yellowstone. Sixteen years later, an Office of Indian Affairs scientific survey party coined the name Devils Tower. Recognizing its unique characteristics, the United States Congress designated the area a U.S. forest reserve in 1892. Devils Tower became the first United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind used the formation as a plot element and as the location of its climactic scenes.
