DEVIL’S TOWER Q&A DISCOVER DEVILS TOWER THE MANY FACES OF Devils Tower — America’s first national monument — brings more than 400,000 visitors to Wyoming’s north -east corner every year. Tim Reid, the monument’s superintendent and nearly 30-year veteran of the National Park Service, and Kacey Caldwell, of the Wyoming Office of Tourism and a proud Wyoming native, offer insight into why the 1,267-foot rock tower near Hulett and Sundance remains such a timeless landmark. TIM REID: Devils Tower is special to me because it’s a world-class destination in many regards, whether it’s the cultural value for Native American tribes in the area who regard it as a sacred site or the international community that comes here for world-class rock climbing. KACEY CALDWELL: Aside from being such a cool and interest-ing part of history as the first national monument, Devils Tower is special to me because it’s a place unlike any other. I love that you can hike around the tower and admire its beauty while reflecting on the spiritual feelings so many people who have come before have felt. 20 Wyoming Official Travelers Journal FROM TOP: DEVILS TOWER NATIONAL MONUMENT, LAURENCE PARENT; CLIMBING DEVILS TOWER, KENNAN HARVEY.
