[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3839167, member: 7900"] If anyone does that one, a day trip up to Devil's Tower is also pretty cool. Perhaps most never know that they climbed Devil's Tower back in the 1890's using special ladders that could be "fastened" to the rock walls. When we were there a few years back and hiked around the tower, we saw some tubes on top of posts in the ground. Those were supposed to be telescopes with which to see the ladders, but the lenses in the telescopes were long gone. Fortunately, I had my 28-300mm lens with me, so I got a shot of one of the ladders. One can just barely see the ladder on the right side of the third "column" from the right. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Wyoming-Sights-and-Attractions/Devils-Tower-Northeast-Wyoming/Devils-Tower-October-15-2020/i-8bTcBMP/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Wyoming-Sights-and-Attractions/Devils-Tower-Northeast-Wyoming/Devils-Tower-October-15-2020/i-8bTcBMP/0/5ac1c220/X2/DSC_2182-X2.jpg[/img][/url] In this next one, the ladder is pretty much in the center and on the right side of the "vertical" column. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Wyoming-Sights-and-Attractions/Devils-Tower-Northeast-Wyoming/Devils-Tower-October-15-2020/i-PX3stKJ/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Wyoming-Sights-and-Attractions/Devils-Tower-Northeast-Wyoming/Devils-Tower-October-15-2020/i-PX3stKJ/0/25258598/X2/DSC_2186-X2.jpg[/img][/url] Sometime after Devil's Tower became a national park, the park service removed the bottom 100 feet of the ladders to prevent others from climbing the tower.
