We did the longer trail and it was amazing! The views of the valley, red rocks, and The Devil’s Tower were awesome! The park is well maintained!
The bathrooms were very clean. The store was cute! I bought a few postcards and a Smokey the Bear pin for my friend.
Definitely recommend!
06/01/2024 3:30pm A MUST SEE!!!! We stopped in on our drive from the Tetons to the Badlands, this did not dissapoint. Beautiful views from a distance and up close, also fabulous views looking out and away. Fairly easy 1.3 mile walk path around the tower, flowing in and out of the wooded area around the tower base. When we came it was pretty warm. We found plenty of space to be in the shade, at most points staying near the base. Scopes to look at historical features. Three parking lots, gift shop and visitors center. Highly Recommend checking out Devils Tower.
This is so unique! We enjoyed the trail that was 2.8 miles. It was all different types of terrain around. The path was mostly narrow but very easy to follow. Definitely a good amount of elevation. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was there wasn’t more to do here. Parking was adequate and there is a very small and not interesting welcome center. Only 3 hike options and one was closed when we were there.
This is an absolutely beautiful ride destination about an hour from Sturgis. The ride in and out is green with gentle flowing curves, perfect for a motorcycle.
The tower itself is truly awesome and inspiring. It's very easy to access and the parking lot has a dedicated are foe bikes.
The walk up to the boulder field is very short and easy and it offers perfect views of the tower without any trees in the way.
If you look closely, you may find people climbing the tower and on the ride in, you pass through a massive prairie dog town that has dedicated pull outs where you can stop and watch them play.
The lower camping area is where you'll find the "sacred ring of smoke" sculpture that perfectly frames the tower when viewed from the bench b
What an Iconic feature. This is one of the famous landscapes that no one seems to know where it is, or if it is even real. This is one of the many features that make the Black Hills truly a hidden gem tucked in-between The Rocky Mountains and The Great Plains of the mid-west. No real facilities other then a visitors center on site, nice sized parking lot. The monument is easily accessible, and has a wonderful trail the goes around the base of the monolith. Wonderful stop for the whole family. And if you are feeling adventurous, throw on your climbing shoes and climbing harness, and make your way to the top.
Shorter paved path around the monument was quite slippery despite being completely dry. Longer trail around monument was very nice. We did it clockwise but would probably recommend counter clockwise for nicer views of the monument.
Beautiful monument and beautiful hiking. If you have time, check out both the tower trail (1 hr) and the red beds trail (2 hr). You see tower from up close from the tower trail but some amazing views from the red bed trail as well! Parking lot was empty at 9 in the morning but was full at 12. The morning sun illuminates the window side of the monument and the after sun shines on the opposite.
Checked out Belle Fourche Campground. First come first serve and $20 a night. No showers or electricity, but there are bathrooms and community water. The pads are gravel and half loops for easy pull in and out access and each includes a picnic table and fire ring. I recommend A15, as it is the closest to Devils Tower with great views!
