The nearly vertical monolith known as Devils Tower rises 1,267 feet above the meandering Belle Fourche River. Once hidden below the earth's surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing Devils Tower. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. On September 24, 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils Tower as the nation's first national monument.

Devils Tower National Monument has 7 miles of hiking trails. The most popular is the 1.3 mile paved Tower Trails that circles Devils Tower itself. Other, longer trails of tranquil forests and meadows offer a different view of Devils Tower.
 Rock climbing at Devils Tower is a popular recreational sport. The tower is acclaimed as one of the premier crack climbing areas in North America and boasts a colorful 100-year climbing history.
