@zion_entertainment: It is site that had lent itself to myths and legends for centuries. Long before Steven Speilberg made Devils Tower the alien landing pad in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Lakota legend held that the fluted sides of Devils Tower were caused by a mighty bear raking the rock with his claws in an attempt to reach nine maidens who clambered onto a rock, praying to the Great Spirit to save them. He raised the rock straight up out of the ground as a column, allowing the maidens to ascend into the sky and become what we call the Pleiades constellation. There's no mistaking it: rising 1,267 feet out of the plains leading to the Black Hills like the stump of some titanic petrified tree. It is Devils Tower. (A typo in the Act of Congress establishing it as America's first National Monument back in 1906 accidentally left out the apostraphe, so it is not, in fact, spelled "Devil's Tower"). . . . . . . . . #devilstower #wyoming #adventure #travel #roadtrip
