The Tower is an astounding geologic feature that protrudes out of the prairie
surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by Northern Plains
Indians and indigenous people. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the
finest crack climbing areas in North America. Devils Tower entices us to learn
more, explore more and define our place in the natural and cultural world.
