Devil's Tower National Monument

We really enjoyed our visit to Devil's Tower! Such a mysterious and wonderful place to visit. We did the paved hike around the base of the monument and enjoyed every minute of it. The sites and sounds were very serine and peaceful. This is definitely one of those places one must visit!

Can't think of anything but Close Encounters of a Third Kind when I see Devil's Tower.

[@leebarnhart831]

Me too. Thank goodness I wasn’t eating mashed potatoes when I watched this.

[@JohnBare747]

@@leebarnhart831 That's funny Lee, thanks got a good laugh out of that one....

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That was a beautiful evening to spend with you Adam and Abby. Couldn’t have found a nicer place either ! Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and continue your adventures. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

[@freepress8451]

Can't wait to see your own version of Close Encounters - Devil's Tower build in the living room, Abby and the drawings

[@gregprince2523]

Thanks Adam, Abby on the access for motor chairs, wheelchair!! Outstanding video of a peaceful gorgeous place!

[@AbomAdventures]

You bet!

[@tjr4744]

In one word ... Its extrordinary how this planet has made formations like what we're seeing on your journey. Totally facinating. The energy that has made them over billions of years is incomprehensible. Yeah .. one word .lol

[@toolbox-gua]

Thank you for all your contribution to our knowledge. This place is just as you say, mysterious and wonderful. Just to imagine the forces that built it, a giant rock protruding out of different surroundings. Beautiful and amazing.

[@NickandRachel]

That place is definitely on our bucket list! Thanks for sharing

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

It almost looks like I would be able to ride my powerchair around the trail, thanks to Abby & Adam for posting this video for me to relive this memory back when I could still walk....Bob.

[@bsimondsen]

I believe you can...it was nice asphalt a year ago...I'll look to take my mother in law there and she has a electric cart

[@AbomAdventures]

Yep it’s accessible for wheel chairs and scooters.

[@markalu551]

This is part of my Home place, I was raised in Wyoming. I would suggest going through the Big horn Mountains Range and going to Yellowstone Through the Wind River Basin. It is as pretty as heaven on earth. Cody is kinda Touristy but the east gate to Yellowstone is the best way of getting there. I was raised in these mountains.

[@truckguy6666]

You guys are livin'.

[@jdmccorful]

Great encounter! Enjoyed the up close pictures of the rock. Thanks!

[@mikebrumbelow887]

I was there about four years ago and left there to go to the Little Bighorn Battlefield on the way to Yellowstone. While in the area, I stopped at Pompey's Piller which is a national Monument on the Yellowstone river east of billings. William Clark of Lewis and Clark put his name on the large rock beside the river. The only reminder of their expedition that still exist today. Also, go up the Beartooth Pass on your way to Yellowstone. It is over 10,000 feet and it's great. You can then enter Yellowstone at the Northeast entrance. Enjoy your videos here in Tennessee! Great job guys.

[@jerrycoleman2610]

Adam & Abby, An Adventure, a Dinner, and a movie right on, thanks for sharing your Adventures with us.!.!.!.

[@scotttomlinson1057]

Watching you two makes my evening. You both are truly amazing and I hope to watch you two grow old together along with myself! Haha

[@AbomAdventures]

We hope so too!

[@williegillie5712]

Oh man you guys are getting to see it all. I certainly home you get all the way to Glacier. This trip of yours sure brings back memories of when my daughter and I went out that way. The only place we didn’t have time for was the devils tower. The whole structure looks like a gigantic petrified tree stump from the time of the dinosaurs. Have fun at Yellowstone tomorrow. They have several trails around the park to walk in between all the geysers and other structures around the park. I hope you’ll check out the different trails/boardwalks around the park you can visit. They have several geysers you can visit around the park and a hot mud pool on one of the boardwalks. Get ready to see yourself some Buffalo. The park had several herds of them. I just hope you guys get the chance to see glacier. The scenery is breath taking and you can drive your own vehicle up or take one of those long Jammer busses on an interpretive tour of the park. Thanks so much Adam and Abby for all the footage you have shared along the way. Can hardly wait for your next video.

[@daviddavis703]

Your going to love Yellowstone National Park... minus the crowds. Have fun and be safe during your travels!

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Thanks for sharing

[@patrickdavey9692]

the google earth view is amazing

[@leebarnhart831]

You’re going to love Yellowstone! We went there when I was just a kid about 55 years ago. It’s like no other place on earth. I can’t wait to see your reaction to it’s beauty and once in a lifetime wonders. There are lots of black bears everywhere but we were lucky enough to come across a grizzly bear begging along side the road and while at Old Faithful an elk wandered thru the geyser complex and the crowd which the rangers said was a very rare event to witness. It was quite a sight for this Kansas farm boy to behold

[@WreckDiver99]

I know people that have been there 8 to 10 times and STILL haven't seen it all...

[@shayhouk8582]

Awesome Country! I always wanted to see the Devils Tower, especially after I saw the movie Close Encounters!

[@richb313]

Great views of the tower especially liked that you were able to zoom in and show the climber. That pork loin looked great just the thing after that hike.

[@sherriewilson4379]

Love your enthusiasm and wonder of the neat places you visit. Maybe meet you on the road someday.

[@51ubetcha]

My wife and I took the kids to Yellowstone in the 90's just after the Yellowstone fire. Lots of burned trees. A bit heart breaking to see. And after visiting the Yellowstone lodge, i could see why there was such an effort to prevent it from burning Such a magnificent building. We also did the Devils Tower walk around and Mount Rushmore along with visiting and staying over night in Deadwood

[@hertharay4583]

Love your tour of Devils Tower. Where did you get your US Map sticker kit? I am soo enjoying your vacation. I will add that hike to my bucket list. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels

Close encounters of the 3rd time

[@clintking3985]

Shoot,you’re only a few hours to the east of me!! Welcome to my home state!!

[@chrisyonker1030]

Looks so different then last time we were there. Late 90s.

[@Machineius]

wish my trailer could get as many states as my truck does. My truck has been to many more.

[@rickvanschijndel3560]

what amazes me the most . is how did a rock formation that big with nothing simular around form there. smack in the middle of relative flatlands . amazing video adam and abby

[@mazchen]

Probably volcanic origin, and the surrounding hull of softer stone got eroded away.

[@AbomAdventures]

If you visit here the visitors center reveals all the info you'd want to know.

[@juliojames5986]

Yes, up close is great. I have never seen pictures this close, Those huge boulders are incredible. The whole place. Thanks a lot. Going to subscribe too. Oh, already had 😵‍💫

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Did you by chance stop at Gillette Wyoming, it was my birth fathers home, he passed in 1999. The coal mines around Gillette were fantastic .

[@AbomAdventures]

No we didn’t stop in there.

[@Joetechlincolns]

Put Mt Rainier on y'alls to do list. You'll get some cardio on the uphill trail. When I went, there was a haze so couldn't see the mountain top. I kept going until I had to sit and cool down. Lol

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

That tower is amazing and so beautiful with the surroundings. Nice place for a holiday, thanks for posting.

[@bsimondsen]

Awesome video...I was there a year ago and you expressed your thoughts on this place is just what we experienced! On a side note I'm the guy that was in the campsite behind you at the West Omaha KOA...When you shot the video out your door that was facing my camper and my Chevy 2500...my truck got damaged in that storm...love your channel!

[@AbomAdventures]

Wow! Crazy storm wasn’t it. Nice you checked out our KZbin channel. We’re still out making our rounds out west 🏜

[@Petrochemtester]

Lot of granite counter tops right there!

[@richleviness4621]

close encounters

[@ricko5123]

Nothing like that background! I l9ve all the rocks there. Also, y'all will LOVE Montana and all its beauty. Yellowstone is just amazing as well and just be careful of the bears even though they are really cool to see along with the elk and all the wildlife. Have FUN!!!

[@thomasr.3592]

I'm happy for both if you. I agree also about the walk and views as you go around the tower.

[@MaestroPrep]

Suckin some wind on that hike!... LOL!! Great video guys!! Thank you for including us in this adventure!!

watch out for the aliens

[@royreynolds108]

Looking at the Tower, you can easily see the areas that were last covered by the amount of weathering of the rocks and how smooth the newly exposed rock is.

[@bobastill8538]

Love it but my OCD so wants a sticker just to the left of the Black Hills one there is a gap lol safe travels

[@chuirios365]

Very cool! Absolutely stunning place!

[@Craneman4100w]

Next stop, Custers Last Stand. it's awesome like everything else out that way. Sit on the veranda and listen as the Rangers explain the battle and chain of events that led up to it, then the Indians tell their side of it. You can easily spend half the day listening then walk about a bit and back into the car and up along the ridgeline. Stop and read all the placards and look down on the markers that show where the troopers ended up. You'll never forget the visit. You continue northwest through Billings then southwest on 212 to Red lodge then on to Bear Tooth pass (incredible in its own right) and into Yellowstone. We always stopped at the restaurant in Roosevelt campground. Be ready to sit in traffic as the tourists have to take pictures every time a squirrel comes within a hundred yards of the road. Too bad you missed Hot Springs Mammouth archeological dig a bit south of Rushmore. Next time. Hey guys! if you leave Yellowstone to the northwest, it's a half days drive to Glacier National Park. The whole drive up from the interstate is some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. Be sure to drive Going To The Sun Road after you get the rig parked.

[@WreckDiver99]

Just a thought on "unprepared" people. Many people go someplace just expecting to "see" the item and not even realize there is more to do, they never planned to do a hike, or even needing to walk long distances. This is so common. When I was younger (probably close to when you were born), we saw the same things then. Heck, our family ran into things like this where we were going someplace and end up needing to walk a REALLY long way, and my sisters wearing non long distance walking shoes. Thankfully the family learned relatively quickly to have good walking shoes in the old van with us so we could change if need be. Back then NOBODY had water bottles, NOBODY. You just dealt with it back then. I can't tell you how many times we'd get back to the main location and hit the water fountain. Back then that's what we had, no bottles of water, heck, even pop (soda) wasn't that "popular" to find in a gift shop. So, yea...how did we make it 45 years ago is beyond me...LOL... Good stuff, this place is on my list. We got close, but never made it to Devils Tower. :(

[@AbomAdventures]

Yep, we noticed it every place we visit. Most of the time there's maps and plaques right at the trail head indicating things folks should know.

[@WreckDiver99]

@@AbomAdventures Yep, but many don't read them. Even then, they are "I walk ALL OVER the place in these"...unaware that a mile is a lot further than walking around the hotel or their house. LOL...We learned, and my parents were pretty good about ensuring comfortable walking shoes if we were going to need them.

You ever hear the native American story about this place? I recommend looking it up if you haven't. I thought it was quite cool. Enjoy your trip guys and be safe

[@kepoirvine9258]

If you guys make it up to the Helena Montana area I've got a campsite waiting for you at my RV park.

[@johnjohn-pt7pe]

Looks like a giant petrified tree stump ?

[@patrickamcguire8749]

Looked at it using Google maps. It's interesting that it's flat on top.

[@MyrtleMMcElrath]

According to the documentary, "What on Earth Happened" this is a gigantic silicone tree that was cut down.

[@Justme-jt1ef]

Check out abandoned and forgotten places this guy document a lot of the 1920 gold minds talk about how they got this wood in there.

I was looking for flying saucers

[@JayKayKay7]

Wow! That was cool. It's a big country isn't it?

[@KJ6EAD]

There were some burned trees along the trail. Do you know if it was caused by wildfire or a prescribed burn and when it happened? Also, is there a secret underground passage linking Devil's Postpile in California with Devil's Tower in Wyoming?

[@christschinwon]

Pass me the mash potato

Sure, the gift shops in town. Lot's of t-shirts, stickers, even the movies of for sale.

That is not a mountain it’s a tree stump from the old Testament in the Bible

[@AbomAdventures]

No one called it a mountain, its a natural formation made of rock caused my magma or lava cooling around it making it condense into the formations you see, approximately 50 million years ago, well before the New Testament was written.
