July 2021 - Devils Tower
We stopped off at Devils Tower while driving across the country, and a great stop it was! It's a really cool mountain, deserving of its place in pop culture.
 
Devil's Tower! The texture of the rock is very striking, and quite a bit cooler to see in person than I'd expected

It looks like frosting that has been shaped on a cupcake
