“Azure Blue Pool” at Hearst Castel (San Simeon, California). Architect: Julia Morgan.

Stories shared by Tribal communities, especially those of the Great Plains and Black Hills region, indicate that the Tower was and still is a sacred site.

Many Tribes still utilize the park for traditional ceremonies. Visitors will observe prayer cloths and prayer bundles attached to trees around the park, especially along the Tower Trail. These represent a tangible connection which Native people still maintain with this area. Please do not touch, disturb, or photograph these cloths.

Connections to this place are as important today as they were for generations before it became Devil’s Tower National Monument.
