Devil’s Tower national monument

We started the day with an all you can eat pancake breakfast with lids on the syrup containers that wouldn’t stay on 😂 we drove 114 miles from Rapid City, SD to Devil’s Tower National Monument. The name comes from a bad translation from the native Americans to some of the first white settlers. The original name actually is Bear Lodge but the settlers mistook it for “bad god tower.” Even though the native Americans have been asking for the name to be changed back for centuries, congress has blocked any progress 🙄 we really enjoyed learning about the history of the area and seeing the looming rock from far away and close up.

Our campground sits right under the monument and we could even see the camper from our hike around the base. Very convenient for the night.Leggi altro
