It was a lot of pine and oak and fallen trees as well around the 1.3 mile walk around the tower.

The sun was starting to set when we arrived at the visitor's center.

The legend is that a giant bear chased the natives up the Devil's Tower creating the uniform gouges on the side of the tower. This painting appears in the National Park office at Devil's Tower.
