Devils Tower, Wyoming

Devils Tower is easily one of the most striking National Monuments. In the midst of prairie, as far as the eye can see, it soars to nearly 900 feet. We could see it coming half an hour before we arrived, surrounded by nothing but dry grass and clear blue sky.

If you ever find yourself in the North Eastern corner of Wyoming, this place is well worth a visit.
