At its heart stands the iconic Devils Tower National Monument, designated as the first national monument in the United States, making this area a must-visit for travellers in search of both scenic splendour and cultural significance.
Towering dramatically above the surrounding plains, Devils Tower is not only a geological masterpiece but also a sacred site for many Native American tribes. Its striking formation attracts climbers, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts from around the globe. The monument is encircled by miles of unspoiled landscapes, offering exceptional opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, and stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the country.
Beyond the trails and tower, Devils Tower Country offers a warm and welcoming small-town charm. In nearby communities like Sundance, visitors will find quaint shops offering locally made crafts, Western apparel, Native American art, and unique souvenirs that reflect the area’s rich heritage. Boutique stores and galleries give visitors a chance to explore the region’s creative side while supporting local artisans.

Prepare to be awed: the laccolithic butte made up of igneous rocks known as Devils Tower is a jaw-dropping geological feature that rises 867 feet above Wyoming’s rolling prairies.
While America’s first national monument garnered significant attention as the backdrop to the 1977 Stephen Spielberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the tower is sacred to Northern Plains Indian tribes and the Black Hills region Kiowa Tribe. With oral storytelling and a history that dates back thousands of years, today, American Indian tribes continue to hold sacred ceremonies at the tower, including sweat lodges and sun dances. There is more to this monument than its rich history. You can stop at the visitor’s center to learn about one of the ranger-led programs, night sky viewing, hiking and even climbing to the top of Devils Tower.
