We had a fantastic day visiting Devils Tower, despite being briefly stuck at a traffic light near the entrance.

It was incredibly hot that day, but the unique shape of the tower and the colorful prayer cloths left by Indigenous peoples gave the place a very special atmosphere. This stop was definitely a highlight of our unforgettable family summer road trip around the Rockies. About Devils Tower:Devils Tower, located in northeastern Wyoming, is America’s first...
