Devil and the dogs

There’s a really bizarre protrusion in the Wyoming countryside that rises over 1200 feet from the surface called Devils Tower.  It was formed as a result of erosion and makes a great statement.  On the approach to the tower we encountered a field of holes – home to the many prairie dogs that hung out while all us humans couldn’t stop taking photos.  Set amongst the prairie was a piece of sculpture meant to “frame” the tower from a distance.  Just loved that.  Once we got into the park we were able to see a few climbers through intense binoculars.  Take a close look and you can see them on the rock.
