Devils Tower

We finally made it to Rapid City, SD. Along the way we stopped at the amazing Devil's Tower. It just rises up from the ground out in the middle of nowhere. The story goes that some little Indian girls were being chased by a bear and some rock just came out of the ground, and saved them from the bear. Then they were taken up into the sky and are they are now 7 little stars! To hike around it is about one and a half miles. While we were hiking we saw 6 or 7 climbers scaling this huge rock or mountain or formation or whatever it is! I think it is about 1200 feet high. If you get a permit, you can climb it. Whit and Jason you would have loved it! Pictures will come later. Tomorrow we're off to Mount Rushmore.
