For quite some time I watched the climber in orange attempting to ascend Devil's Tower. He slipped a couple times, but he's safely attached by a rope to a climber seated way above him.

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.

you can see this rock spewing up from the ground from miles away.

American Indians use the Tower as a place of

worship. Most of the ceremonies that take place are

small groups or individuals, who have gathered for

prayer, pipe ceremonies, the tying of prayer cloths, or

vision quests.
