This is a web-site I saw on YouTube promoting Wyoming. Not bad.

I've been to Devil's Tower several times. It has a powerful aura. I don't have any way to describe it, but I am not at all surprised that the Indian people found it a sacred place.  Do wish it had a better name.

Don't the Indians call it "Bear Lodge", because of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major)?

I don't know. There was a movement a year or so ago to rename the tower, using an old indian name, but I can't remember what became of that effort.
