Devils Tower: WYO 24 - WYO 110 Junction - Tower

Devils Tower occupies an isolated igneous rise in the Bear Lodge Mountains of northeastern Wyoming. Rising above the Belle Fourche River valley, the formation is known for its near-vertical columns of phonolite porphyry, formed as cooling magma fractured. It is the centerpiece of Devils Tower National Monument, proclaimed in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt as the first U.S. national monument. The tower is also sacred in the traditions of several Plains Indigenous nations, and a voluntary climbing closure in June respects ceremonial use.

Wyoming stretches from the Montana border to its frontiers with Colorado and Utah, encompassing the high Rockies, broad basins, and Great Plains. The Continental Divide crosses the state, while the Wind River and Bighorn River drain contrasting sides of its interior. In the northwest, Yellowstone National Park—established in 1872 as the world’s first national park—and Grand Teton National Park place geothermal country and sharp mountain relief at the centre of Wyoming’s identity. Ranching remains integral to its open-country culture, alongside communities shaped by railroads, energy, and outdoor travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
