Tower Trail is the de facto hike in Devils Tower National Monument. This easy 1.3 mile paved trail closely circles the base of Devil's Tower with frequent interpretive panels explaining different aspects of the tower's geology, history, and cultural significance.
The Belle Fourche Campground is the only campground inside of the Devils Tower National Monument. While it only sports 50 campsites, we had no trouble acquiring our own site that evening. Each site is well spaced from the others and very level. RVers as well as tent campers can find convenient shady spots with hints of Devils tower through the trees. Best of all: the bathrooms have running water.
The drive to Devils Tower is composed of rolling farmland. Perhaps that is what makes the massive stone outcropping all the more magnificent: it towers over the golden prairie.
As is noted by local reporters: this was a record low year for accidents. Congratulations? I guess all those creepy posters in the bathroom stalls made a positive difference for people's lives as opposed to my bowels.
