The second stop on our East bound and down road trip was Devils Tower National Monument also known as Bear Lodge to many native people. (see wikipedia info below). We'd been before and the weather was fantastic on this visit. It's a quiet 1.3 mile walk around the volcanic plug. It's got a lot of interesting history to it and is sacred to many native american tribes. I love the afternoon light and the ponderosa pine forest. Keep an eye out for the 360 version to come out soon over on our 360 channel.

Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge Butte) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first United States national monument, established on September 24, 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt.[9] The monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha).
Native American names for the monolith include "Bear's House" or "Bear's Lodge" (or "Bear's Tipi", "Home of the Bear", "Bear's Lair"); Cheyenne, Lakota: Matȟó Thípila, Crow: Daxpitcheeaasáao ("Home of Bears"), "Aloft on a Rock" (Kiowa), "Tree Rock", "Great Gray Horn",and "Brown Buffalo Horn" (Lakota: Ptehé Ǧí).
The name "Devil's Tower" originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, when his interpreter reportedly misinterpreted a native name to mean "Bad God's Tower".All information signs in that area use the name "Devils Tower", following a geographic naming standard whereby the apostrophe is omitted.
In 2005, a proposal to recognize several Native American ties through the additional designation of the monolith as Bear Lodge National Historic Landmark were opposed by United States Representative Barbara Cubin, arguing that a "name change will harm the tourist trade and bring economic hardship to area communities". In November 2014, Arvol Looking Horse proposed renaming the geographical feature "Bear Lodge" and submitted the request to the United States Board on Geographic Names. A second proposal was submitted to request that the U.S. acknowledge what it described as the "offensive" mistake in keeping the current name and to rename the monument and sacred site Bear Lodge National Historic Landmark. The formal public comment period ended in fall 2015. Local state senator Ogden Driskill opposed the change. The name was not changed.
In 1941 George Hopkins parachuted onto Devils Tower, without permission, as a publicity stunt resulting from a bet. He had intended to descend by a 1,000-foot (300 m) rope dropped to him after successfully landing on the butte, but the package containing the rope, a sledge hammer and a car axle to be driven into the rock as an anchor point slid over the edge. As the weather deteriorated, a second attempt was made to drop equipment, but Hopkins deemed it unusable after the rope became snarled and frozen due to the rain and wind. Hopkins was stranded for six days, exposed to cold, rain and 50 mph (80 km/h) winds before a mountain rescue team led by Jack Durrance, who had successfully climbed Devils Tower in 1938, finally reached him and brought him down. His entrapment and rescue was widely covered by the media of the time.

Just enjoyed walking and seeing Devil’s Tower. Loved your comments. I could almost feel the chill and smell the fresh air. Liked seeing your son walk by. Nice that your family is with you. When I see this landmark can’t help but remember the movie Close Encounters if the Third Kind! This is always an enjoyable way to get in my thirty minute walk each day. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Rose. Thanks so much for your encouraging comments. -H

You too. Thanks. !-H

You got me on this one 🎥 Henry,. I've seen devil's tower driving I-90 highway 🤳🏿📸 in Gillette going towards Spearfish SD,. In 2021 this brung me to tears.. beautiful places.. so many memories THANX! henry glad i watched this.. 🫡 "keep on steppin"
Right on. Thanks for sharing. I hope the tears were good ones. 😀. Take care and keep on steppin’ too. -H
@@CityWalks they were definitely good tears, Sir. 😊 I appreciate you. bringing good memories of nature and travel 😊🧳
Hi, thanks 🪨🌲⛅️ !! A most spectacular location, great atmosphere and views. So smoothly ‘shot’ and well narrated with stories and information ℹ️ 👍. Thanks again my friend, ( I’m still here 😃 🏴 ). cheers, Don 👋
Thanks Dan. I hope you are well. Always good to hear from you. - H
@@CityWalks
We are both OK 👍 , thanks Henry. Some wider family health issues, and responsibilities keeping us close to home just now 😃. Cheers, Don 🙋♂️
Great walk. This place has been somewhere I’ve wanted to travel to since 1978. Now you’ve refreshed my desire to go. 💗. Love the Native American description of how it came into being. Their perspective is always more entertaining than the science.
It's a beautiful and special place. I hope you make it some day in person. -H
Dude ranches and guest ranches, 🤔 can’t say I know the difference. Nice giving credit to your son for research. Can’t wait to include my children as assistants, I’ll even place their name in the credits. Wow that view is incredible, the Cliff looks like an artist matte painting and with all those boulders, it’s just incredible. I love these legends, they add so much interest to area like this, I can picture a giant bear trying to claw its way up. $25 dollars to get in is crazy, too bad you forget your pass but I guess there’s a silver lining. Funny story about the flagpole, it was the bear maybe 🤔. It’s great that you have a patreon started, nice of you to acknowledge your patrons.
Ha, I’m not sure I actually know the difference either between dude ranch and guest ranch. Such a beautiful view out over that valley, I agree. And I love the park like a Ponderosa forest. The park pass is only going to have two months of overlap and will actually break even on this trip. Thanks for watching and have a great day. - H
Oh, I thought you were going to climb it! A great walk anyway - another one to add to my "maybe one day" list.
Oh hah. No the climb is extremely technical I believe. Thanks. -H
The nature is beautiful. Interesting walking tour
Many thanks. -H
Awesome tour! So fun to be on a journey with you
Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome -H
Henry, beautiful video from start to finish. Impossible not to remember the film Close Encounters. Majestic view appearing at 37:50
It was on my mind as well. -H
*-H You finally made it to DEVILS TOWER 😈👹👍👏🍻😆*

Thank you for this tour - cool place
Thank you too -H
Wow, remarkable! Need to visit WY one day!
For sure. Thanks for watching. -H
Lovely place to walk! My grown son and I went a couple years ago around the same time of year, and there was snow! But warm and the walkway was clear enough to walk on. We saw a big buck and some doe.
That sounds amazing. It must have been so beautiful in the snow. -H
@@CityWalks yes, it was! Really a perfect day, not too cold or windy.
How beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us! Always happy to experience your videos!
You are certainly welcome.
The light shing through the pine trees actually looks sooooo beautiful!
I know, I love this part of the world. These Ponderosa Pines are fantastic. - H
Have a nice weekend! And thank you for yet another fantastic walk!
You are so welcome. Thanks. -H
Lovely video and channel@new fan here@stay safe debs xx.
Thanks so much Deb. Checking out your channel now. -H
Great experience and beautiful walk ❤️
Thanks 🙏-H
I love your nature walks. They are the best. It's a wonderful way to spend the time on my treadmill visiting some of the places I've been before and maybe dream about seeing in the future. I look forward to walking every day. Have you done any walks around Mt. St. Helens or Rainier?
I have not but that's a great idea. So glad you enjoyed this one and the other nature walks. More to come. -H
Another place I want to visit. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us. FYI, I believe that the pile of boulders is called a talus field. I think that is what my rock climbing nephew called them.
Awesome. I think you are right about the tallus field. I think smaller rocks are called scree.
*-H did you find any Alien spaceships there 😐😁👍👽👾*
Just a pile of mashed potatoes 😁 -H
😊
👍🖐😁
Thanks for the walk Henry! You are collecting quite the diversity of landscapes in your walks. Have you considered making a playlist for unique landscapes? Thanks for the info on what this place means to Native Americans. The dark corners of American history bother me, but I might be more bothered by individuals who choose not to acknowledge those dark corners. Hope you and your son are having a great time, and I really like the way you choose to educate both your sons. Take care.
Thanks Tom. Great idea on the playlist. Having a great time. -H
I not sure you know or Fun fact this mountain was use in filming of close encounters of third kind
tip for fact signs take photos with your camera and post it on facebook page
Thanks Kevin. Yes, I was aware. I remember watching the movie as a kid (on TV though). Thanks for sharing though. There's a ton more I don't know and i'm always interested to learn. -H
That 360 degrees, what is that? It doesn't work in my cellphone. 😔 Sorry for my ignorance.
Hi Danny, that will be going up on the other channel. This is the flat version. Sorry for the confusion. -H
