"Devil's Tower July 2010"
Devil's Tower was used in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which is why my husband insisted we stop there. We were running late so we arrived after the Visitor's Center had closed, so I cannot review anything that may be offered there.
My kids, especially my son, enjoyed climbing over all the rocks at the bottom of the tower. And we took some really great pictures there with the tower rising in the background.
We had read about the Native American legends on how it was formed, which I think were fascinating. And because it is still used in Native American ceremonies they ask that you be respectful, stay on the paths and I believe they discourage climbing during the month of June.
I don't know if we will go back, unless some of us learn to actually rock climb. But our evening there was definitely one to remember!
