Devil's Tower

Our last stop of the trip was Devil's Tower in Wyoming. We thought it would be cool, but we had no idea it was that awe-inspiring. This tower just climbs straight up from the ground. There's a Native American legend about God saving two Indian girls from a giant grizzly bear by raising a rock into the sky and the bear's scratch marks can still be seen today. The girls loved the story. But the real story is that magma cooled in a magma chamber underground and after millions of years of erosion, the tower now raises high above everything else. The columns really showed how it cooled. It really is unique. We did a hike around the base that was really pretty.
