Steve’s take

America's first National Monument (1906, designated by Teddy Roosevelt). An 867-foot vertical column of volcanic rock that rises straight up from the surrounding plains. Made famous by 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' Climbers can scale it; everyone else can walk the 1.3-mile Tower Trail loop at the base. KOA campground at the park entrance. Off US-14 in NE Wyoming, an hour west of Mount Rushmore.
