We spent several hours at
Little Bighorn one afternoon, and then spent the night at a little
campground nearby. The next morning we drove to
Devils Tower and got a great campsite at
Belle Fourche Campground in the park. In the evening we drove around to the west side of the Tower and enjoyed a beautiful sunset with the shadows slowly creeping up the Tower. At the same time an almost-full moon arose right over the Tower.
The next morning I got up early and walked over to the east and got some nice photos of the vivid colors of the rocks at sunrise. After breakfast we went to the visitors center and did the walk around the Tower. It wasn't busy that morning and we enjoyed our walk accompanied by a wonderful volunteer guide. It was just the two of us and him, so we got quite a personalized tour and learned so much about the history of the Tower and the folklore surrounding it.
Had we made a quick, drop-in visit, we would have missed so much about this intriguing spot.
