Near Devils Tower
Crazy Horse Memorial 121 km
A mountain carving still in progress in the Black Hills, which will show the Oglala Lakota leader on horseback, pointing to his tribal land. It was commissioned by the Lakota elder Henry Standing Bear and begun by the sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, and the finished face already looks out over the hills.
Mount Rushmore 128 km
Four 18 metre tall heads of US presidents carved into granite in the Black Hills: Washington, Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Lincoln. The sculptor Gutzon Borglum led the work from 1927 to 1941, helped by his son Lincoln.
Badlands National Park 200 km
Nearly 100,000 hectares of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and gullies in southwestern South Dakota, banded in shades of grey, tan and red. Around them lies the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States, and the South Unit is managed together with the Oglala Lakota.
Yellowstone National Park 458 km
The first national park in the world, mostly in the northwest corner of Wyoming with edges reaching into Montana and Idaho. It is known for its geysers and hot springs, Old Faithful above all, and for herds of bison and elk across a landscape that is mostly subalpine forest.
Rocky Mountain National Park 478 km
A slice of the Front Range of the Rockies between Estes Park and Grand Lake, about 90 km northwest of Denver. The Continental Divide runs through the middle, the Colorado River rises in its northwest corner, and the land climbs from forest past alpine lakes to open mountain tundra.
Grand Teton National Park 484 km
The sharp peaks of the Teton Range rise straight out of the valley of Jackson Hole here, with no foothills in between. The park lies about 16 km south of Yellowstone, and together with the forests around them they form one of the largest intact temperate ecosystems on Earth.
Old Faithful 485 km
A cone geyser in Yellowstone, named in 1870 and the first in the park to be given a name. It erupts on average about every 92 minutes, regular enough that crowds gather on the benches around it to wait, with the great log inn of the same name close by.
Grand Prismatic Spring 485 km
The largest hot spring in Yellowstone and the third largest in the world, in the Midway Geyser Basin. Its deep blue centre is ringed by bands of orange, yellow and green made by heat loving microbes, colours best seen from the hillside trail above.
