Devil’s Tower

Wow! I almost skipped this? I kind of thought how much better than the pictures can it be up close? Well much much better. This heap of magma alone answers my question of why oh why we need Wyoming. It’s magnificent. From any angle it impresses. And the road to the National Park visitor center wraps right around it a few times before you reach the base. I suddenly wished I was an expert climber. It must be a rare privilege to stand atop that and look at the country around you.

Signs all around invited us to join the fireworks spectacular for the 4th. I hoped that maybe fireworks were to be had several nights over the weekend and we might see some tonight (Sunday) if we stayed around. But I was told the big show happens only on the 4th proper. Ah well. It was still a close encounter to remember forever.

After that we passed through Sundance WY. Namesake of the Sundance Kid. But pass through is about all you’d want to do there.

In general the northeastern corner of WY was very pretty terrain. So many apologies to the state of WY. I spoke too soon.
