My 12-year-old daughter and I did the 2-day devils tower blast trip, and we had an amazing time!! I had climbed Custer state park and Devils Tower multiple times, and this was the best time out yet! Our guide, Doug, was informative, encouraging, and an awesome person! Our day on the tower was perfect with Doug leading the way! I loved the setup, the information, the safety, and now my daughter and I have a memory that will last a lifetime!!! We can’t wait for our next trip!
