Map of Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. The mostly square park is shaded green, and surrounding terrain is beige. The Belle Fourche River is shown as a blue line, and roads are shown as red.

Extended Description

Devils Tower National Monument has straight sides along the north and west borders. The east border is also straight but jogs in near the bottom, where a bulb-shaped section juts out at the corner. The southern border is straight on the left half and then curves up along the path of the Belle Fourche River, which curves around the bulb.

Devils Tower, shown as a beige-colored mound, is at the center of the park. The elevation is 5,112 feet (1,558 meters).

State Route 24 curves across the lower right corner of the map. State Route 110 branches off State Route 24 to travel first north and then west into the park. Once past the Post Office just outside the park boundary and the Entrance Station just inside, the road curves down around Devils Tower and then up the west side. The park road ends with a loop at the Visitor Center, which has parking, drinking water, wheelchair access, restrooms, and a ranger station. There is also a pavilion, and an accessible section of a hiking trail is highlighted in this area.

State Route 110 passes nine parking areas or turnouts along the way once inside the park. Close to the entrance is a Prairie Dog Town, and a park road branches southeast from State Route 110. The park road passes an Administration Building, Long Vehicle Parking, Sculpture, a wheelchair-accessible amphitheater, and a Picnic Area with restrooms, wheelchair access, parking, drinking water, and pet-friendly area. This park road ends with two loops labeled A and B. Together they make up the Belle Fourche River Campground, which has drinking water, wheelchair access, restrooms, a pet-friendly area, and campground. An unpaved, dead-end road travels the opposite direction on the park road once past the Administration Building to parallel the western curve of the river.

Now closer to Devils Tower, another unpaved road branches from State Route 110. This heads north to a Trailhead with parking and two spurs that are dead-end roads. The Joyner Ridge Trail creates a circuit off the parking area.

Other trails create loops around Devils Tower from the visitor center. The Tower Trail travels close to the tower, and the Red Beds Trail creates a wider loop. The Connector Trail links the Joyner Ridge and Red Beds trails to the northeast. The Valley View Trail and South Side Trail extend from the Red Beds Trail to the southeast to lead to the picnic area and campground there.
