Completely agree. Quite the amazing place.

100% agree.

TR was the man, for sure.

Ha! Massive fail on my part for not mentioning the movie. And yes, it really is an amazing piece of God's art.

Yes and the mashed potatoes...I loved that movie as a child.

I thought the one that was built on the train set out of soil, rocks and wood was impressive.

I've often wondered the same thing. Other countries have old buildings and castles. But the national treasures in the natural wonders are what set the U.S. apart.

I would say that your parents served you well :)

Oh wow. Definitely want to visit there someday.

Thanks. Part of the reason why he's my favorite president.

It really is! Thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate that.

Definitely a cool place to see.

Glad you enjoyed it!

1.) Big fail on my part for not giving that movie a mention. 2.) Yes, I did. I actually filmed a little bit there but didn't include it in the final cut. 3.) 2nd big fail on my part.

Yeah, I was surprised to see so many as well. Cool place though.

It really is an amazing place. Glad that you enjoyed it!

Pretty amazing formation. I don't know of anything else like it. Glad that you enjoyed it!

Pretty amazing place.

Wish that I could've made it out that far. Planning on hitting Yellowstone next year.

@@TheHistoryUnderground Save it for your last park. All the others pale in comparison. IMHO

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate the kind words. Glad that you are enjoying it!

Nice!

Ha! Exactly.

With age comes wisdom.

Estes Park is a great place. Got a few videos on this channel from that area.

​@@TheHistoryUnderground That has been the only time I've been there, but would LOVE to go back. For the times I've visited family in Colorado (Denver area), that was the only time I've been to Estes Park (and entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, but the road was closed in the winter and I can't remember if it was before or after the new year when we went). Had gone to Vail where the family had a condo there and with not being use to the altitude, it wasn't a great ride on the way back to their place in Englewood (didn't get sick just real nauseous)! I'll certainly look it up. And of course got the creeps just looking at the Stanley Hotel, but would have loved to have gotten closer to it!! LOL I know you've been to Jefferson Barracks in St Louis, I have to check again, but did you ever make it to Cahokia Mounds or the area where Lewis and Clark started at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers? And Old St Charles area is along the Missouri was where the first capitol of MO. There's museums at both Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville, IL and Lewis and Clark State Historic Site in Hartford, IL.

Thanks! So glad that you are enjoying the content.

Dang, I really wish that I could've made it out to Cody. I'm thinking that next year, I might try and do a big trip that goes through North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Cody would definitely be apart of that one.

That Buffalo Bill museum is amazing . You can spend a couple days exploring this incredible museum. You would love it !!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

😅

Thanks 👍

My pleasure!

Thank you! Cheers!

Ha! Yeah, I’d like to know who in the heck squirreled their way up that thing. Very impressive formation though.

Good suggestion. Thank you.

I think I read part of it as a paperback many years ago. I've just added it to my Kindle to read again. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks! That means a lot :)

Yup, that's the way I heard it too. I hadnt heard of the bear being their brother though. I wonder what that's all about? Beautiful legend tho.

From what I understand, there are several different origin stories from different tribes. They had a few listed there at Devils Tower, but I only picked one of them.

@@TheHistoryUnderground There used to be a marker around there that told this same story about the Indian children. I read it in 1990. This place is considered sacred by the tribes around there. I don’t think anyone should be climbing it . Imagine if people started climbing the walls of the Vatican.

You would be correct… that’s the story the Lakota tell

Yeah, I was impressed. The climbers can have it to themselves though.

Thanks for watching! Appreciate that.

You would enjoy the Roosevelt trilogy that was written by Edmund Morris. Probably the best treatment of TR ever written.

@@TheHistoryUnderground Thank you! I've put them on my wish list!

Ha! All I can do is imagine it because I'm sure as heck not going up there.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure where I land on that. I've considered all sides. I sure as heck won't be climbing it myself though.

Interesting! Thanks for the extra info!

Glad you enjoyed it!

User Name - Thanks! That was probably my favorite shot in the whole piece. Every once in awhile I manage to get a shot that matches what I envision in my head. It doesn’t happen often though 😅

Ha! Maybe somebody could take a picture for me.

🙏🏼

🙏🏼

😅

Jim Black I was watching to see if someone mentioned that 👽🛸

Yep! Big fail on my part for not mentioning the movie in this video.

@@TheHistoryUnderground I'm glad you didn't mention it in your video!

I knew I couldnt be alone. Showing our age!

One of this Canadian's favorite places to visit. Have been several times and there is a very spiritual feeling there and the walk around the base is pretty easy. The beautiful campground just outside the tower used to show the movie nightly. Quite the experience to watch the movie, outside, in a group, with the tower visible in the background. Not sure they are still doing that but having grown up loving the movie, it was quite the experience. Nicely done :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Not yet, but that's high on my list.

Ha!

👍🏻

Definitely seeing some cool things. Lots to experience in that part of the country.

It was still there when I went 3 weeks ago.

Yeah, it was there but I couldn't really get a good view of it on camera.

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, we did the same. By the time we left it was filling up though. Earlier is always the way to go at these places.

Heeeeeeeck no!

Thanks! Pretty awesome place.

It really is!

I'd love to get up there at some point. Just have to get through this pandemic. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Hope that you enjoy the other videos on this channel as well. I have new content up once or twice a week so be sure to subscribe if you haven't already :)

Thanks for the extra info!

👍🏻

Ha! You definitely won't ever see any videos from the top on this channel.

@@TheHistoryUnderground lol..I hear you. There is some great 4K drone footage out there though.

Ha!

We need nick cage climbing up it for national treasure or something! 🤣

Yep, hit all of those sites. Really an amazing area.

🙏🏼

It does! All we needed was some lava and orcs.

If I’m not mistaken, that was the story from another tribe.

The History Underground it might have been I just remember hearing it as we visited the tower it was so long ago that I forgot what tribe it came from

Pretty impressive.

Pretty awesome place.

Yes

Quite the guy. I wouldn't mind having a return to his attitude towards conservation.

Ha! I really regret not making a Close Encounters of the Third Kind reference.

MMMmmm mashed potatoes

I've got the music tune stuck in my head now.

worse then that because of your post i am watching it now.

Andre Guillette 😅

I'll pass, but thanks :) Not sure of the geologic age.
