About the Devils Tower Visitor Center

Devils Tower rises approximately 867 feet from its base and reaches an elevation of 5,112 feet above sea level.

The distinctive vertical appearance comes from hundreds of parallel cracks separating large columns of igneous rock.

The Tower also holds profound cultural and spiritual significance for Indigenous peoples of the northern Great Plains and Black Hills. Numerous tribes maintain traditional connections with the site.
