Devil Falls is a 20' tall, two tiered waterfall on Finney Creek that finishes with a plunge into a gorgeous, deep pool of green water.
Devils Tower (Lakota: Matȟó Thípila ("Bear Lodge") or Ptehé Ǧí ("Brown Buffalo Horn") (Arapaho: Wox Niiinon) is an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres.
In recent years, about 1% of the Monument's 400,000 annual visitors climb Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.

Okay, the weird part about Devil's Road. (Cossart Road in Chadds Ford, PA)
The trees in some areas all grow out away from the road. Supposedly, it is because the trees are trying to get away from the evil of the Cult House.

Chapman Falls is almost as famous for a fascinating legend involving Satan as it is known as a popular state park day-trip destination. Posted on a billboard at the site is a Puritan belief that Satan once walked along the Eightmile River and became infuriated as his tail became wet. To express his anger, he scampered up to the falls and stomped his hooves on each section of the falls, leaving scars in the boulders of the natural feature the falls descend over. This is where Chapman Falls derives its alternative name, Devils Hopyard.
During World War II the San Francisco Bay Area has been described as “a giant cannon aimed at the Pacific.” These concrete bunkers along Devil’s Slide (south of Pacifica along Highway 1) are all that remains of a long-retired guard to the western United States.
Devils Tower rises above the surrounding grassland and Ponderosa pine forests like a rocky sentinel. Northern Plains tribes have worshipped near this remarkable geologic formation for thousands of years. Fur trappers, explorers, and settlers alike were awed by the tower's majesty. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt established Devils Tower as our nation's first national monument. Many have gazed at the Tower and wondered, "How did this amazing formation form?"
