Devils Tower National Monument
Devils Tower sits across the state line in northeast Wyoming. The Tower is a solitary, stump-shaped granite formation that looms 1,267 feet above the tree-lined Belle Fourche River Valley. Once hidden below the earth’s surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing the Tower. The two-square-mile park surrounding the tower was proclaimed the nation’s first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The park is covered with pine forests, woodlands, and grasslands. While visiting the park you are bound to see deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife. The mountain’s markings are the basis for Native American legend. One legend has it that a giant bear clawed the grooves into the mountainside while chasing several young Indian maidens. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. Devils Tower is also remembered as the movie location for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway
Spearfish Canyon offers a trip through the culture, nature and history of the Black Hills. Abundant wildlife watching opportunities are found throughout the canyon. One of the best scenic byways in America. Older than the Grand Canyon it offers three waterfalls, 1,000 foot limestone/sandstone cliffs, four ecosystems and a flowing mountain stream. We stop at Roughlock Falls to walk the short trails and view the cascading falls. Great photo ops.
Deadwood
Original Old West History . . . 1876 Gold Rush . . . and final resting place of infamous Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane in Mt Moriah Cemetery. (tour stop) Today Deadwood looks much like it did in the 1880's. Cobblestone streets, brick and stone gambling casinos. You will have time to explore on your own many of the famous Saloons and closed 'Hospitality' houses' on Main Street.
