    If you watch the movie...this is the location at the foot of the mountain....The view from our campsite!

    Devils Tower National Monument

    September 3, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 88 °F

    I don't know.  Maybe this is an example of making fun where we can.

    Devils Tower of course is the unique mountain formation featured in the movie 'Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind'. 

    We went to the mountain and did the tour, which is a a short bit in the visitors center and a 1.6 walk around the mountain in a beautiful park like setting, a few hundred feet above the base.

    You get an up close look at the distinctive hexagonal pillars that form the top of the mountain.

    This was interesting, but it was mostly us being a little footloose on the way to Badlands. 

    And yes, we watched the movie that night. 
    Just being silly.
