Close Encounters of the Western Adventure Kind

It's just a four-hour drive along picturesque byways from Cheyenne to Devil's Tower. I'm surprised at how many people have never heard of Devil's Tower National Monument and haven't seen or don't remember Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Anyway, it's a fascinating natural formation that possibly was the center of a volcano. It looks like someone dropped a cylinder of clay in the forest and then ran a fork down its sides. The air was fresh and clean and piney. It was definitely worth the detour on our way to Mt. Rushmore. We did not eat here.
