I retired in 2014 and I've come to a realization that I will never venture to the places you have explored, not for health reasons, but, for personal and domestic situations. I thank you sir for your EXPLORER mind set and look extremely forward to your next ADVENTURE. GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE!

The only good thing is that you realize it and I hope you can take small trips. My neighbor talked for years of going to Sturgis. He made the trip and died suddenly a few weeks later. I believe he was one of the first with the virus from our wonderful friends in Asia.

Devils Tower is the cooled lava of an ancient volcano. The dirt has eroded away and the cinder remains as the extremely cool National Monument! Great video thanks!

@davish2964 Год назад

@IDNHANTU2day Год назад

It is humbling to imagine how long it took that volcano to cool down and erode. In a few million years, there will be no trace of this tower. Yet we worry so much about how we are destroying the earth. How dare we think we have that much power. The earth don't care if we eradicate ourselves now, or nature will do it for us. For we are a pimple on the earth's a$$.

@ItsMeScareCro Год назад

Nope. Ancient tree stump.

@teslamadeit3068 Год назад

It's a tree trunk. True. They are all the through the area, but most of them have dirt leading up to the top like miniature volcanoes. I'm not a geologist but when you look at the area behind our programed view, any smart person would interpret the same notion if you look at them as what the area as 1. It was a very old forest when oxygen was much more concentrated in our atmosphere. Drive to Belle Forche SD, the entire are looks like small volcanoes. Bear Butte by Sturgis looks like a tree that split at the bottom into 3 branches and broke down into what remains now. Maybe when all the continents had supposedly existed as 1.

@cindyclark3318 Год назад

I was there a month ago. The trail is a complete loop all the way around the base of the tower. Took me 1.30 hours!! I was so impressed I made it. The whole trail is beautiful. They have benches all the way around so you can sit. It's a beautiful drive up. Very glad I was able to see it. Totally worth going to see.

@alejack12001 Год назад

Thank you for making the trip to Devils Tower. I have always wanted to see the tower especially since I saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I have often wondered where the filming was done. I could see the trees from the drive by. I think that may have been the filming side. I saw a path along the rock face where you walked to the base of the tower. That path was to take the actor Drefuss to the opposite side where he would encounter the alien spaceship. In 1978, Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a big hit and made Devils Tower quite an icon. Those prairie dogs were gathering to be on RVer TV. Have fun in Sturgis.

@syntheticpaul Год назад

I'll be making this trip from the UK in two weeks time. Its a bucket list trip as i have always wanted to see the tower first hand since I first saw Close Encounters. I'll be flying into Denver and driving up. Will also be taking in Casper, Deadwood, Mt Rushmore and Laramie before returning to Denver.

@kayejc Год назад

Russ, thank you so very much for taking the time to go to Devils Tower. My honey and I have put this on our bucket list once he's retired. Beautiful camera work!!!

@BlazingLaser Год назад

I was there a couple years ago. To me it looks just like a big tree stump, and I wonder how the tree would have looked before! The vertical lines in the tower are from 'columnar jointing'. The rock was molten, perhaps in the middle of a big volcano that has since eroded away, and it cooled very slowly, over millions of years. This made it shrink, and shrinking made it pull apart into columns--like the pattern of cracks you see on dried mud. Another beautiful example of this is Devil's Postpile in California (which hopefully you'll visit when the price of diesel fuel comes down.)

@faithfultotheend5202 Год назад

One thing I can be proud of as an American is our national park system and the monuments, reserves, and things that people can come see and enjoy for the public. There's so many places and so much land that is protected that can't be mined, cut down, or stripped down the land. It's all protected so that the public can see all the glory.

@robertross2596 Год назад

That was a very cool look at Devil's Tower. On my very first trip out west in the late 1970's I saw Devil's Tower from a distance along I-90. I've always wanted to return and get a closeup view and walk. I camped at the nearby Keyhole Reservoir & got an amazing western sunset as a bonus.

@066motocross Год назад

I was up there in 1977 just 3 weeks before the movie crews arrived and it was nothing like it is today. No ranger station and nobody to pay. Just the road leading to the parking lot which at that time was gravel. No campgrounds just a gravel lot. I was 13 and hiked the old trail there that you showed. No sidewalk like you show, no plaques nothing. Just raw nature in 77. I was 13 years old and my mom and dad stayed in the pickup truck camper while I hiked the old trail. It went the whole way around the tower a little over a mile walk if I remember correctly. Was very fortunate that day to see Native Americans praying at the base and on the other side 2 guys climbing it. That was a great day and parents could cut a 13 year old boy loose to hike the monument without worrying about never seeing the kid again. In my opinion these national monuments are getting too fancy and commercialized. Beautiful video!

@yawndave Год назад

Alright, Russ! I was hoping you'd pay a visit to Devil's Tower. Seeing it appear over the horizon as you drive out there is pretty amazing, isn't it? I've camped there several times, both in the park campground (where we survived a huge thunder and lightning storm overnight) and the KOA just outside the entrance--they show Close Encounters every night on a big screen! It's one of my favorite places in the National Park system...there's something about the vibe there that I haven't felt anywhere else. I have a poster of the giant bear climbing the tower (at 9:29) hanging in my living room.

Thanks Russ for bringing back great memories of a trip I took out west from my home in Ohio. In 1988 I took my wife, daughter and mother out west on a trip that lasted a month and covered 6700 miles. My family was younger and mom was a widow who had never been out west so it was a great trip for all of us. I got great pictures of the Tower using a telephoto zoom lens from roadside turnouts and also of the prairie dogs. I am now 69 years old and due to health issues cannot make the trip today. Thank you for helping me and I am sure many others relive some better times in our lives. Be safe and keep the great travel videos coming!

Your tour showed a lot of story boards near the tower that explained the Native American lore, but I didn't see any story boards that explained the geological origins of the tower. It is a magna plug that was formed deep in the earth, possibly below a volcano above it, that was exposed by millions of years of erosion of the soil around it. The visitor center was built in the 1930s, and the internet says it was remodeled in 2021. I hope they have included in the remodel some explanation of the towers geological origins.
