Devils Tower National Monument - May 14
“. . .one of North America’s most recognizable natural features, dramatically rises 1267 feet above the Bell Fourche River 27 miles northwest of Sundance, WY. President Theodore Roosevelt established Devils Tower as America’s first national Monument in 1906.”

We walked the Tower Trail and then drove through the park and watched the prairie dogs for awhile. Molly especially enjoyed this.
When we left Devils Tower we drove over to Sundance (Population 1182), the place where the “Sundance Kid” got his name. Not the place where the film festival is held. “The Kid’s” real name was Harry Longabaugh. He wasn’t born there and he didn’t die there. He just spent eighteen months in the Sundance jail for stealing a horse, gun and saddle.

T & I being the coffee lovers that we are, sought out a local coffee shop and found the Wild West Espresso. What a neat place to spend an afternoon, drinking coffee and visiting with the locals.
