Devil's Tower
National Monument - Rising 1,287 feet above the nearly
encompassing Belle Fourche River like a gigantic chimney, Devil's Tower has been a
land mark to the pioneers in their westward treks and a sacred site in
the worshipping of several Native American tribes (they called it Bear's
Lodge). It was proclaimed as a national monument in 1906 by President
Theodore Roosevelt.
