Day 2 of our trip we went to Devils Tower. This was the first National Monument in the United States. It was neat to see from afar, but really awe inspiring to see up close. The girls did the Jr. Ranger program there and earned "Badges" that say they are now Junior Rangers for Devils Tower. We went on a hike that took us completely around the base of the tower. It looks different from all sides. The first person to climb the tower made a ladder with wooden pegs stuck into a crevice and a rope. It is still visible today. The tower is a spiritual place for many Native Americans and they leave prayer cloths and prayer bundles around the base. On several sides of the tower are boulder fields with large chunks of rock that has fallen off the tower. Many of these were absolutely huge!
