1st official US National Monument?

Without using google, can you guess? Photos attached as clues.

Not hollow. Not a volcano. Sacred to many. An unusual favorite.

@Maver1ck @MsSims :
I think I should go buy land up there. In case it really gets a lot hotter all over the United States. Not many people over there.

@Maver1ck :
Been there many, many times. It was always a challenge to walk around it as a kid and fun to watch the climbers.

@Donnawisdom :
It's a beautiful state but my family who is still there tell me that a lot of people from other parts of the country are moving in.

@Maver1ck : Truly an amazing formation. I wonder how it formed? Any geologists on here or anyone know the answer? Wind and water...??

Could you imagine living back 150-200 years ago and riding up on this on your horse? Majestic.

@MsSims : oh wow, very interesting explanation!!!! Thanks for that, I skimmed it, will get more coffee and read carefully. In short, "Geologists agree that Devils Tower began as magma, or molten rock buried beneath the Earth's surface. What they cannot agree upon are the processes by which the magma cooled to form the Tower, or its relationship to the surrounding geology of the area."

Amazing!!!
