Devil's Tower

Ok, right up front, the beer was not that great. However, the national landmark was very cool. Devil's Tower was the first national landmark, designated as such in 1906 by Teddy Roosevelt. It rises up out of the plains with nothing else around it for miles. The rocks formed into hexigon shapes underground (as molten magma) and then fractured into columns as it cooled. Over the following centuries, the sedentary rock eroded and left the Devil's tower. This is a case of label > contents. But worth it!
