Excitement will reach peak levels at the sight of this awe-inspiring rock that protrudes out of the flat plains above the Black Hills in north-eastern Wyoming. The Devil’s Tower is a site of special significance to many Native American tribes in the region who know it by different names – the Cheyenne call it 'Bear's Lodge,' 'Bear's House,' 'Bear's Tipi,' and 'Bear Peak.'

The monolith is a magnetic sight: follow trails to see it from all angles then watch daredevil climbers scale it. A vehicle pass costs $25 and can be used for up to seven days.
