Devils Tower

Yesterday we saw Devils Tower near Sundance, Wyoming, before overnighting in Deadwood , S Dakota.  The tower is truly amazing, just as shown in the Close Encounters movie in 1978.  We walked around it twice on the close-in trail and then a longer one - about 5 mi total.  There were two sets of climbers on the face. Huge boulders scattered around the base but not to worry... There have been no big pieces eroded away since it was established as National Monument in 1906!!
