Photo by @michaelclarkphoto // Devil's Tower rising above the plains in northeastern Wyoming. Maybe you've seen images of Devil's Tower or you've seen it in the classic movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Devil's Tower, also known as Bear's Lodge by Native Americans, is both a religious site and a well known rock climbing area. It is now a National Monument and well worth a visit. Hiking around its base or climbing on its flanks, either way it holds a power over all visitors. #devilstower #devilstowernationalmonument #wyoming
