A Sacred Landmark
Devils Tower rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, and features the world's largest example of columnar jointing. A sacred place to over 20 Native American tribes, the Tower is also known as Bear Lodge. Devils Tower was designated as America's first national monument in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt.
