2023 Vacation Day 6

On day 6 we traveled from The Ranch at U-Cross to the Black Hills. We made a stop at Devils Tower before arriving at Spearfish Canyon.

Colorful cloths or bundles are placed near the Tower - commonly seen along the park's trails - and represent a personal connection to the site. They are similar to ceremonial objects from other religions, and may represent a person making an offering, a request, or simply in remembrance of a person or place.
