July 8, Devils Tower

Hi everyone, We stayed at Devils Tower Campground and we never expected what we saw. A rock so bold and towering above the earth is a phenomenon that is so interesting and fun. There are many Indian stories about this tower. It was a sacred place for the Kiowa Indians. There are many stories about this beautiful tower and we stayed busy reading them. Many people were climbing when we arrived there and we were mesmerized. The very first climb was done by William Rogers and Willard Ripley, using a wooden ladder. Approximately 5,000 climbers come here from all over the world. It is in a beautiful forest and we hiked around the base. A very fun and interesting day. Take care. Tomorrow Wind Cave Nat't Park
