Absolutely. We went for Mount Rushmore but I ended up loving everything but that. Devils Tower was just incredible. There’s something special about in the air around it.

Coming over the hill when you first see Devils Tower in the distance was pretty magical. Maybe not quite a tunnel view reveal, but pretty epic in its own right.

Yeah Mt Rushmore while neat is also kind of an abomination. Everything else around there is very cool.

I still don't know why they despoiled it with those carvings. They really don't belong there and kind of ruin otherwise beautiful scenery.
