After a few days in Biddle, we packed up and headed out. On the way home we took a detour to one of America's National Monuments, Devil's Tower! It always amazes me what is out there to see. It is always way cooler than I think it will be or than pictures does it justice. What an amazing world we live in! If you ever get a chance to visit one of these great National Forests or Monuments by all means GO! You won't be disappointed!
My first look... WOW!
look at the pretty red mountains near by
of course I have to take pictures of the signs... it's a must for all good scrapbooks!
Prairie Dog Farm
Adie wanted her picture taken with the Prairie Dog... do you see him in the background?
getting closer, so cool!
Inside the visitor's center there was this picture. It told of an old fable about how the Tower was made. The tale is that an Indian boy was running from a bear and arose from the ground was this tower than lifted him up toward the sky keeping the bear from being able to get him. As the bear climbed up the tower it's claws caused the striations in the rock. Interesting what people came up with!
I know you've already seen a few pictures of Devil's Tower, but it's beauty and grander just amazed me I kept having to take more shots!
the rock bed at the bottom of Devil's Tower.... you can see how huge it is with Colby, Adie and Jeremy sitting near the bottom.
and yet another picture
Colby atop a rock... this is a great place for the kids to climb! and they love it at any age!
The tower up close... see the striations in the rock, they go from top to bottom
so cool!
Climbing Adie... she was so proud of herself!
What an awesome day!
