Devils Tower

A fluted stone tower the Lakota call Bear Lodge — a beacon to the sky honored by 20 tribes.

Devils Tower, a striking 867-foot monolith in northeastern Wyoming, formed millions of years ago as an igneous intrusion that cooled into its signature fluted columns. Geologists recognize it as a laccolith, yet its dramatic silhouette has long transcended science for the Lakota, Cheyenne, and eighteen other tribes who call it Bear Lodge and regard it as a place of vision quests and sacred ceremonies.

According to Lakota legend, the grooves were carved by a giant bear’s claws as it chased seven sisters who fled skyward and became the Pleiades, leaving the tower as an eternal marker of their escape. These stories, passed down for generations, intertwine with accounts of lost civilizations and star beings who once descended here, imbuing the site with an aura of ancient extraterrestrial contact.

Best time to visit: May and September — pleasant daytime temperatures with minimal snow risk; these shoulder months offer far fewer crowds than the busy June-August climbing season when thunderstorms and park congestion peak.
