Structure: The Devil's Tower
Location: WY-110, Devils Tower, WY 82714, USA. Devil's Tower is in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River.
Established: September 24, 1906
Description: The Devil's Tower is not man-made. The simplest explanation is that Devil's Tower is a stock - a small intrusive body formed by magma that cooled underground and was later exposed by erosion. some people believe it is a butte (an isolated hill with steep sides and with a flat top) In 1907, scientists decided that Devil's Tower must be an eroded remnant of a laccolith (a mass of igneous rock, typically lens-shaped, that has been intruded between rock strata causing an uplift in the shape of a dome).
It is the first American national monument and is believed to be a holy place by native Americans. Yearly about 5000 people register to climb the structure and so far there have been 5 recorded deaths.
The top of the Tower, at an altitude of 5,117 feet, is about 1,270 feet above the Belle Fourche River. The Tower is about 800 feet in diameter at the base. The sides rise almost vertically from the base for a distance of from 40 to 100 feet and then slope in more gently to form a narrow bench.
