A sign informed visitors of the American Indian heritage.

There are several trails around Devils Tower. The two RV Gypsies walked the Tower Trail which is only a 1.3 mile loop.

The rocks and boulders around the base of Devils Tower are actually broken pieces of columns that fell from the sides.

Registration is required to climb Devils Tower or it is a Federal Offense. Below are photos of people making the journey to climb the tower. It takes a lot of gear to climb the tower. One climber told the two RV Gypsies that it took him four hours to get to the top, others said it took longer. The tower is 865 feet high. The length of time to climb the tower depends upon the climber's experience and ability. Climbers must use their own judgment and be responsible for their own safety at all times. The two RV Gypsies did see a climber fall part way down this monument but he was okay.
