Rushmore and Devils&nbsp;Tower]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>After flying through the Badlands we continued our journey west travelling to Mount Rushmore and then darting north to Devil&#8217;s Tower before a long drive across Wyoming to Casper where we stayed the night. The range of terrain we traversed gave of us everything from rolling pre-mountain hills to endless flatness. Devil&#8217;s Tower has always been one of my favorites and if you wonder why all I can say is go watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind again. It is also America&#8217;s first national monument.</p>
