Geologists determined that Devils Tower in WY was formed as a result of a volcano. The cooling magma created the delineated columns.
DEVIL'S TOWER rises 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devils Tower was the first United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt.
DEVIL'S TOWER stop over. Once we arrived at Devil's Tower, we had to disconnect the rig to get to the visitor center two miles up the road.
We had a long drive ahead of us, so we didn't get the chance to see CRAZY HORSE NATIONAL MONUMENT, but were able to snap a few photos from the road.
