"Mystical" Devils Tower by zrim

Devils Tower Travel Guide: 71 reviews and 169 photos

It is not surprising that the Lakota and other Native American people who frequented this area considered the tower a spiritual place. Not too much imagination is required to summon a magical feel to this unearthly formation (even if you haven't seen Close Encounters).

Excellent page about this little known place. It looks almost like a couple of mountains in the Hoggar (Iharene aka Pic Laperrine and Adaouda aka Pic Jacquet). I should build a page about the Hoggar, some time, may be!

I remember traveling here when I was 11 years old. The Devil's Tower can definitely be seen from miles.
