What To Expect
Devils Tower National Monument
Devils Tower sits across the state line in northeast Wyoming. The Tower is a solitary, stump-shaped granite formation that looms 1,267 feet above the tree-lined Belle Fourche River Valley. Once hidden below the earth’s surface, erosion has stripped away the softer rock layers revealing the Tower. The two-square-mile park surrounding the tower was proclaimed the nation’s first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. The park is covered with pine forests, woodlands, and grasslands. While visiting the park you are bound to see deer, prairie dogs, and other wildlife. The mountain’s markings are the basis for Native American legend. One legend has it that a giant bear clawed the grooves into the mountainside while chasing several young Indian maidens. Known by several northern plains tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a sacred site of worship for many American Indians. Devils Tower is also remembered as the movie location for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway
Spearfish Canyon offers a trip through the culture, nature and history of the Black Hills. Abundant wildlife watching opportunities are found throughout the canyon. One of the best scenic byways in America. Older than the Grand Canyon it offers three waterfalls, 1,000 foot limestone/sandstone cliffs, four ecosystems and a flowing mountain stream. We stop at Roughlock Falls to walk the short trails and view the cascading falls. Great photo ops.

5.00Charlie was a great guide. Trip to Devil’s Tower is about 2 hours away but worth the ride. Please do get to Devil’s Tower early otherwise you will be stuck in a long line. We arrived around 9:30

5.00Tour Guide Mike was on time. He was great company and kept us entertained with good conversations. We had a comfortable vehicle with food & water and he ensured we saw all the significant sights.
Not worth the money!

3.00The driver Kevin was extremely nice. He was personable and professional. The vehicle on the other hand was a different story. It needed to be cleaned and was old and uncomfortable. Considering the price I would expect something more… windows that were clean, doors that worked and a much more comfortable ride. I would not recommend this excursion to anyone. Find another bender to see SD.
Horrible package trip, and had no private tour as advertised.

1.00The only good part of this tour was the devil tower. Spearfish and deadwood had nothing unique or exited to see. The worst site seeing was deadwood, I practically just passed through a dead town with old buildings. I paid for a private tour, and thus private tour just drove us to the destination and sat in the vehicle. I would not recommend this tour guide or package to any one. Especially for the price of close to 1000 for 2 people. This packaged was recommended by the viator sales representative, and me not knowing the geographic area I was depending on Viator representative to guide me to the best seeing sites tourist and package. I thought I was going to be able to see nature animals, beautiful lakes, and other unique geographic area. But instead got the experience of visiting local community park, and hiking. Even in my home town we have more beautiful view of local community park than Spearfish had. And sioux falls water fall parks is much more beautiful than Spearfish. I am grateful that a refunded is going to be given to me. I did not get the package that I wanted out of experience and the tour guide did not even do a private tour with me.
