Well you can see Devil's Tower from the hwy and might as well just pick up a post card for Little Bighorn
Does the postcard comment mean it's not worth stopping, or that if I'm going to do it really quickly that it's not worth stopping?
Doing either quickly isn't giving them the respect or personal involvement one should invest to appreciate either.
Kinda like driving down the street past the Alamo and claiming you have been there.
National Monuments deserve time & respect.
Do you sign permission slips to make sure people conform to your personal specifications on how to visit national monuments?
Or do you simply not realize that a simple "I'd give them a half day each at least" is as effective an answer without the smugness?
What about the person that thinks "proper respect" is longer than you spent at those sites?
You asked so you got my personal opinion.
Get the postcard.
