Why go?

Overfly an American Natural Wonder!

Devil's Tower National Monument (National Park Service)
Devils Tower rises above the surrounding grassland and ponderosa pine forests like a rocky sentinel. Geologists have studied the formation since the late 1800s, and today still wonder how it formed. Although much of the Tower’s geologic story is agreed upon, theories differ on certain details. Protected in 1906 for its scientific value, Devils Tower remains a place of scientific study and public wonderment. We know that the Tower is formed of a rare igneous rock, phonolite porphyry, and is the largest example of columnar joining in the world.

Check your sectional for overflight limitations:

"FOR REASONS OF NATIONAL WELFARE, PILOTS ARE REQUESTED TO AVOID FLIGHTS WITHIN 3NM OF DEVILS TOWER NATIONAL MONUMENT."

W43 is the closest field to the monument.

... and bring a good camera.

No courtesy nor rental cars available at the field so ground transportation to the monument may be a bit of a challenge.
