Devils Tower is impossible to miss – the 1,267-feet-tall (386m) rock soars high above the surrounding countryside and is a sacred site to many groups of Native peoples. The Tower Trail is one of the best ways to see this magnificent natural wonder up close. The 1.3-mile (2km) trail loops around the base of the tower and also takes in the boulder field, formed by pieces that have split off the rock, and the stunning scenery beyond.
