You need to see the centerpiece of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Parts of this monument were in the film. This place is a must see. Hard to explain unless you see it. There is a walking path that goes around the base of the Monument. You won't see any space aliens here, or will you? :)

Love this place. Our first national monument. Do yourself a favor and hike a trail.

My wife and I visited Sturgis for Bike fest and this is a short ride from Sturgis and a must see. Did the whole trail around the monument and were truly enamored by the visual feast for the senses.
