About Devils Tower National Monument

Devils Tower rises 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River, a butte of phonolite columns that the National Park Service calls the world's largest example of columnar jointing. You can hike the trails around its base, stop at the visitor center and watch climbers work the cracks between columns. Theodore Roosevelt made it the nation's first national monument in 1906. More than 20 Native American tribes hold it sacred, and climbers are asked to stay off voluntarily each June.
