“This independence day brings forth a new hope to make our tomorrows most beautiful and cherished. Wishing everyone a very happy 4th of July.”
Devils Tower | Crook County, Wyoming
Yes, the structure, known as Devils Tower, is recognizable to anyone who has seen Steven Spielberg’s 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I have never looked at a towering mound of mashed potatoes the same since watching the movie, lol.
This path circles the entire monument. Every time I have visited this location I have made it a point to walk around the entire monument. Most times there will be climbers scaling the sides of the monument. The last time I visited I took the time to view the 'Tower Ladder' - it has to be viewed through a telescope. There is an interesting story behind this ladder that dates back to 1893 - google it and if you are ever in the area please take the time to visit this most interesting monument.
