Places To Go

Devils Tower National Monument is relatively small at 1,347 acres (5.5 sq. km), but there is still a lot to explore! The monument is easily divided into three major hubs: the Belle Fourche River hub, Joyner Ridge, and the visitor center hub.

 
 

Belle Fourche River Hub

After proceeding through the Entrance Station, visitors drive over the Belle Fourche River. This river is also the park boundary to the southeast, making it the perfect name for the hub of destinations and activities in this area.

      Joyner Ridge

      Joyner Ridge is the least crowded part of the park. The ridge was named after Newell Joyner, one of the monument’s early custodians (superintendents). Take the park road about 2 miles, then turn left onto the gravel road. There is a sign just before the intersection. Take the gravel road about 0.3 miles, then turn right into the small gravel parking area. RVs and motorcycles are not recommended on the gravel road.

          Visitor Center Hub

          At the end of the park road is the visitor center hub. Stop by the visitor center for exhibits, friendly rangers, and the park bookstore. Then, go out and explore on one of the trails that leave from here. The visitor center hub is the most crowded area of the park, for good reason – it's the closest access to the Tower!
