Happy 115th birthday to us!

Today, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt used the newly signed Antiquities Act to set aside Devils Tower as the country's first National Monument! This designation marked a significant change from the previous inhabitation of more than 10,000 years by indigenous northern plains tribes, who served as stewards of the land for countless generations.

The Tower remains a sacred site to many indigenous people and is known by names such as Bear Lodge, Bear’s Tipi, Tree Rock, Grey Horn Butte, and many other names remembered by time.

There are hundreds of National Park units across the United States, but what is the difference between a National Monument and a National Park?

First and foremost, a National Monument is designated by presidential proclamation, while a National Park is designated by an act of congress. National Monuments are usually instituted to protect at least one national resource and are typically smaller than National Parks, while National Parks protect a multitude of resources and are generally larger.

Whether looking up at hundreds of feet of naturally occurring columns or taking in the view from a distance seeing how unique this feature is on the landscape, it is easy to understand why this place was a worthy candidate to become the countries first National Monument.

Do you remember when you first saw the Tower? What was your initial reaction?

Located in north-central Wyoming, the Bighorn Mountains are a sister range of the Rocky Mountains. Conveniently located halfway between Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park, the Bighorns are a great vacation destination in themselves.
