If so.. without any doubts whatsoever, drive another couple of hours to see this wonderful place as seen in Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind (Devils Tower Wyoming. Maybe an hour off the Interstate but has a very nice State Campground. Whatever you do, get up early and go for the walk around the tower base).
