During this month of October Saturdays are our free days. Two Saturday’s ago we climbed Harney Peak.
Last Saturday we decided to drive to Wyoming and visit Devil’s Tower. It was only about a two and a half hour drive and the day was just beautiful! We took a scenic drive which took us right by Mt. Rushmore.
We look out at Mount Rushmore everyday and never tire of the view! It was amazing to leave the Black Hills and immediately be in high prairie. The rolling hills were just beautiful.
We were very impressed to notice that there were solar panels on the Wyoming visitor center!
Devil’s Tower is quite impressive when you first glimpse it.
It reminds me of a very tall petrified tree trunk! As you enter the park you pass by a prairie dog town. Prairie dogs were everywhere!
Reminded me of that funny YouTube video, you know the one where the prairie dog is saying, “Helen, Helen ” Soon we were at Devil’s Tower. It was just as impressive close up.
What was even more amazing were the folks free climbing.
I couldn’t imagine being up that high without ropes!
We couldn’t take a long hike around the tower as no dogs are allowed on the paths. Riley was disappointed that she was only allowed to walk in the parking lot!
It was a great day and we were glad we made the drive!
Let’s Drive To Wyoming!

Wyoming is an amazing state! You got some good photos of that man climbing the Devil’s Tower. I hope you were able to visit Yellowstone National Park.
