Devils Tower National Monument
National Park
Category: Devils Tower National Park in Wyoming
Description of this Wyoming Attraction: The nearly vertical monolith known as Devils Tower rises 1,267 feet above the meandering Belle Fourche River. Once hidden below the earth's surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing Devils Tower.
Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. The rolling hills of this 1,347 acre park are covered with pine forests, deciduous woodlands, and prairie grasslands. Deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife are abundant.
Proclaimed September 24, 1906 as the nation's first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Grand Encampment Museum
Historical museum
Category: Encampment Museum in Wyoming
Description of this Wyoming Attraction: The Grand Encampment Museum interprets the ranching, mining, timbering and cultural history of the Sierra Madre Mountains and Upper North Platte and Encampment River Valleys. The collection includes several original buildings including a one-room school house, a homestead house, stage station, and business buildings from the community. As a National repository for the U.S. Forest Service, the museum also has an extensive Forest Service collection including an original fire lookout tower and guard station. Unique items include a two-story outhouse and three original towers from a 16-mile long aerial tramway (constructed in 1902-03) used to transport ore from copper mines to a smelter. We will hold a "Wrangler" youth program on June 19 from 9 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. which will include showing of historic cowboy clothing and gear and wrangler demonstrations, a free cowboy lunch and an obstacle course to try your newly learned wrangler skills. This is FREE for all young wranglers ages 5 and up. We hold Living History in connection with the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering annually. The 2009 events will be July 17-19. This year's events may include a book signing, and demonstrations by a blacksmith, a hatter, a spinner and textiles artist. The Mountain Man Rendezvous is the last weekend in July. Bring a picnic and a blanket and make it a day with your family!!! You'll have a GEM of a time!
