Devils Tower Wyoming

The brightly colored pieces of cloth that you find

hanging in some of the trees along the Tower Trail

and elsewhere in the Monument are referred to as

prayer cloths, prayer bundles, prayer ribbons, prayer

ties, and prayer flags. They are physical, symbolic

representations of prayers and are here by American

Indian people as part of their religious ceremonies.

Please do not touch, take, or disturb these prayer

cloths in any way. It is considered culturally

insensitive to photograph these items and we request

that you do not do so.
