Description
The different hikes at Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming (USA) give you vastly different impressions of this amazing landscape formation. There is a 3.8-mile loop farther out from the tower which to me was the most interesting But by far, the most popular hike is the 1.3-mile paved trail at the base of the tower which presents the tower in all its immediacy. It towers right above you, no pun intended! The site received the name ‘Devils Tower’ as a result of a US Army geologic expedition in 1875. This was despite several maps and other sources labeling the formation as Bear Lodge, the English translation of a Lakota name. The name remains controversial today and many want the original name restored. What is not controversial is the uniqueness of the site, which led to its protection as a U.S. forest reserve in 1892 and the first United States National Monument in 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. Millions today enjoy the legacy of preservation and conservation established in previous generations. Similarly, today we are challenged to continue this legacy for future generations.
