Native nations consider this site sacred, and tie prayer cloths to trees along the trail surrounding the tower. Visitors are asked not to touch or photograph those, and I apologize if you see any in this picture. I tried my best to avoid photographing them.
Devils Tower got its name in 1875 by a white explorer. Native nations call the site Bear's Lodge or Bear's House and do not like the name Devils Tower. Several attempts to formally change the name to Bear Lodge have been met with opposition in Congress.
We've been to Wyoming many times over the years, but this was our first trip to Devils Tower.

Devil's Den / McClurg Covered Bridge is located in Hanover Township Park, in Washington County, PA. The structure utilizes the Kingpost Truss and is 24 feet long and the width is 12 feet 3 inches, it crosses a small ravine. The year and builder of the bridge is unknown, it is owned and maintained by the county.
The McClurg/Devil's Den Bridge is covered on its sides and portals with barn red vertical plank siding, and is pierced on each side by three rectangular windows, as well as the eave openings. The bridge also has a roof of cedar shakes and a deck of crosswise planking. It rests on stone and mortar abutments with short stone and mortar wingwalls, and has an additional U shaped vertical timbers support under the middle of the deck that rests in the ravine. The covered bridge has two commonly used names. It is referred to as "Devil's Den" because of the cave hidden behind the waterfall near where the bridge used to stand. The current name, McClurg is derived from the family that owned the land around where the bridge originally stood.
In 1952, only the original weatherboard remained of this bridge's Kingpost construction. Today, it is unknown how much, if any, of the original siding remains. The County moved the bridge in 1987 form its original location over King's Creek, just north of Paris in the northwest corner of the County, to its present location over a small dry ravine in Hanover Township Park. The Bridge is only open to foot traffic.
