Exploring Devils Tower: Wyomings Iconic Natural Wonder

Devils Tower is the massive rock formation in Eastern Wyoming that was the first national monument in the United States. We spent a half day hiking the Tower Trail, a 1.3-mile loop offering panoramic views of the tower and its surroundings while also leaning into the history from Native American folklore to movie backdrops. This is an out of the way and amazing park that you have to see yourself to believe. Let us know what you think in the comments.

We've been twice, it's Amazing! We were on a road trip going up to South Dakota and over to Yellowstone. We almost skipped it the 1st time we went because we were eager to get to Cody, Wyoming, but decided to go ahead in case we may regret it later. And we would have! When you are driving to it, you have no idea how awesome it is til you get there. Love the video, Josh!!! You and Pops are the best❤

Wow! Awesome video, Josh! I've never seen the Devil's Tower, but I'm adding it to my bucket list. Great video quality!

I have been twice. It's such a quiet country. Close Encounters of the Third Kind fan 😃
Another favorite is Crater Lake.

I went there once in the middle of summer and it was packed with tourists . It’s pretty awesome to see, I’m glad I went out of the way to see it. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[Az_VanGo]

This is definitely my favorite national monument I have visited! Went here on a trip to the badlands and the black hills region- June 2020.

[HappyTrailsHiking]

Loved being there as well! So glad you got to go! America’s First National Monument! Must see!

[OnRideVideos]

Thanks for this wonderful video, one of your best yet. Often thought about visiting Devil's Tower, now I'm determined to make the journey from the UK to see this amazing natural monument. Thanks for your continued inspiration of places to visit, in California and beyond.

[DisEver-ME]

Good to see you and pops out seeing America again!

I’m glad you got to visit devils tower. I was visiting friends in Gillette WY and back then in 1990 I had never heard of it. It was amazing. I went on the same trail you did with a friend who is in a wheelchair. The relatively flat trail was great for that. But we couldn’t do the full path but a decent amount with the help of friends and her manual chair. It’s so worth visiting.

WOW, that's amazing! Thanks so very much for all the pics, the background info, and so many facts. I'd love to go there. Thank you, Josh and Pops. You NEVER disappoint.

I've always wanted to visit Devil's Tower, ever since I saw "Close Encounters"! Definitely on my bucket list.

[CFDEngCo]

Great video! I was there in September 2022. I also went early in the morning (first car in parking lot, and I also highly recommend getting there early). I did the Red Bed Trail first, and it was absolutely amazing. Then I did the Tower Trail. Thanks for taking me back!

[jonathantitus]

We love Devils Tower--so unique and definitely a National Monument we would recommend visiting.
Your video brought back good memories. My wife and daughter stayed at the visitor's center while my son and I did the trail.

[andreajohnson]

Growing up I thought it was fake, I wanted to see for myself now I get to see through you as you take us on a wonderful adventure Thanks for sharing Josh and Pops

[dorseykindler]

This means something. This is important!!

[karenr]

I've been hoping someone would go to Devils Tower. Ever since the movie, I've wanted to see it close up. Thanks, you did a great job.

[prowrestlingisart]

I loved visiting this place. I would have liked to spend more time. I didn't even visit the gift shop which I kicked myself for. I really like how they respect the native traditions and their space around the site.

[zabajart]

Awesome that you can spend time with your dad on these videos, my wife and I just got back after spending over 3 weeks through Sioux Falls and the Badlands, and devils tower, yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons this past September, and even though this was a long trip enjoyed seeing your longer videos of spending more time in more of these sites that we did not have time for, just a heads up I love my wife, but when traveling with guys, such as my brothers we can skip over the gift shops, which the gals like shopping for grandchildren 😳😳😎
