Must see! The walking trail around this monument is well maintained and suitable for anyone. It's a beautiful walk around, and if you're lucky, you can stop and see people climbing up the sides. Definitely not for everyone, but it's pretty majestic to see. This rock formation is nothing like you have ever seen before. So unique! Great day out and perfect for the whole family. It does get very busy, and parking can be very limited at peak times, so plan accordingly. Don't miss all the Prairie dogs when you drive in. They are abundant and so cute!
The hike around Devils Tower is a surreal and humbling experience that every outdoor enthusiast should add to their bucket list. The Tower Trail, a 1.3-mile loop around the base of the monument, offers breathtaking views from every angle and is suitable for hikers of all skill levels.
As you make your way around the tower, the sheer size and mystical presence of this natural wonder become more apparent. The trail is well-maintained and provides several points where you can pause to appreciate the towering rock formation that has inspired Native American legends for centuries.
Along the path, you’ll encounter a variety of landscapes—ranging from shaded forests and sun-drenched clearings to rocky outcroppings and open meadows. The trail offers frequent glimpses of wildlife, I spotted soaring hawks above, two doe’s, a fawn and squirrels. The prairie dogs were a delight to watch on the road leading up to the tower.
What truly stands out about this hike is the feeling of peaceful solitude it brings. Even with other hikers around, there’s a sense of reverence for the natural beauty that surrounds you. Whether it’s the wind whispering through the trees or the sight of climbers scaling the rock face in the distance (I saw 5), Devils Tower offers an unforgettable connection to nature.
Overall, this hike is a perfect combination of easy accessibility, stunning views, and a unique geological wonder that inspires both awe and reflection.
Devils Tower National Monument is truly awe-inspiring! The towering monolith rising above the landscape is a sight you have to see to believe. We loved walking the trail around the base, taking in the views from every angle, and learning about its geological and cultural significance. The peaceful setting made it a perfect day outdoors. The only downside was limited dining options nearby, so packing a picnic is a good idea!
I recently visited Devils Tower, and it was an unforgettable experience! The towering natural monument is truly awe-inspiring, with its unique geological formation and breathtaking views. Whether you're hiking around its base or simply admiring it from a distance, the sense of history and wonder surrounding the area is palpable. The trails are well-maintained, and the park staff were friendly and knowledgeable, providing great insights into the significance of the site. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to connect with nature and explore one of America's most iconic landmarks!
One of the most awe-inspiring monuments in the USA, surprisingly serene to just walk around and take in the sheer scale of it. Really cool to see it slowly rising out of the trees on the drive towards it. Just respect the Natives by not taking photos of what’s on the trees.
When I first set eyes on Devils Tower, it felt like stepping into a different world. Rising nearly 900 feet above the Wyoming plains, this incredible rock formation has an almost mystical presence that’s impossible to ignore. As I wandered around its base and learned about its cultural significance, I understood why this landmark has captured the imaginations of so many visitors. If you’re even remotely considering a trip to Devils Tower, I can assure you – it’s absolutely worth it.
My wife and I came here with my two toddlers, as well as my parents and nieces. The roads into the park are nice, but be prepared for a 1 - to 2-hour wait at the entrance if you don't get there early. The parking is limited, so they stop people outside of the parking area to wait for spaces to open up.
Once you're in, the park is good. There are two trails that surround the tower. My wife and mother took the shorter trail, which is paved. My father, nieces, and I took the longer trail, which follows a much larger perimeter.
There isn't much for facilities there, so be prepared for that.
Overall, it was a pretty good experience!
This is a fantastic national park. The tower trail gets extremely busy even in the off season, but the other trails are far less used and offer even better views of the entire park. Come, just come early.
