9:34 PM LOCAL TIMEDevils Tower rises abruptly from the plain as a near-vertical 1,200-foot (370-meter) granite monolith and was designated the world's first national monument in 1906. The tower's distinctive, vertically jointed columns and steep slopes make it a world-class climbing destination, with routes suited for climbers of many skill levels. Surrounding the base is a geological park and marked trail system, such as the popular Tower Trail, completing a loop that offers close-up vistas, native interpretive signs, and access points to terc-Native histories. The site is culturally significant to Plains tribes and is often referred to locally by its Lakota name, Mateó Tipsi. Visitors come for hiking, wildlife viewing, geology, and spectacular sunrise and sunset views; overnight stays are typically limited to nearby camping and lodging. Remember to check current trail conditions and access policies before your visit.
