Devil's Tower, Wyoming

This is the core of an ancient volcano that has weathered away. It stands more than 800 feet above the surrounding plain. The Indians who lived here explained it this way. One day seven girls were playing when a bear chased them onto a rock. They prayed to the rock to save them and the rock began to grow. As it grew higher, the bear tried to claw it's way to the top, but couldn't. The claw marks are still visible on the sides. Eventually, the rock grew up to heaven and the girls are there, known as the Seven Sisters. We call them the Pleiades.

We were about eight or ten miles away when we took these pictures. Pretty large even at that distance.
