I head west across the windy state of Wyoming on I-90. My plan is to make it to Deadwood and check out the old western town. I did just watch the first three sessions on Amazon and wanted to take a look at the place that made the show. As I'm driving down I-90 minding my own business, I pass a sign for Devil's Tower and decide to make the trip there.
I stop at the first overlook and find this cool sign and vatange point to take this picture.
Devil's tower from a few miles away.
I decided to get a closer look so I continued on to the park. Once at the tower, there is a trail you can follow around the base of the tower. It's only 90 degrees and sunny so I go for and take the trek.
Here are the picutres I took from the base.
Devil's Tower from the south I believe. There is a massive boulder field around the whole thing which is a pretty awesome sight.
Devil's Tower from the west. More boulders.
Devil's Tower from the east where is some shade. There are five climbers on this side near the top. I'm not sure you can see them here though.
Some signage about the Tower's formation.
Three young deer just chilling about 10 feet off the trail with about 25 people passing through here every 10 minutes.
More signage about how the Tower was created.
After about an hour here hitting my exercise goals, I decided to continue on my way to Deadwood. I arrive in Deadwood at about 7 in the pm and take a shower. I walk up and down the historic main street and it looks very much like Central City and Blackhawk in CO. Small casinos, restaurants, and souvegner shops line the street. As it gets dark I get to see some people lighting off some fireworks in the distance. Happy 4th of July Everyone!!!!
