Another American monolith formation is the Devils Tower National Monument, which seems to rise up out of nowhere to provide the passerby and the outdoor photographer with a magical muse. Devils Tower is a volcanic neck or igneous intrusion that was formed thousands of years ago and rises 1,267 feet above a pine forest in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming. There are plenty of places and times to shoot the tower, but sunrise and sunset are quite spectacular. Capturing the tower up close or from Belle Fourche River provides stunning views of the monument.
