Oddly, I just watched "Close Encounter" for the first time since the mid-seventies in a theatre a few nights ago. Your picture caught my eye right away. On the critical side, the rock appears to be is basalt - very common in my area - and I know it as a grey rock. The rock in the photo seems green. Is this mistake with the colour, or is this their lichen or moss growing on Devil's Tower.
From a distance it appeared grey. As you get closer it is a vibrant with color (not grey) ochre color. It really is not what you expect it to be even when you are a few miles from it. On this day it rained, and we walked the loop around the base of the tower. The rangers were dispatched to get the rock climbers down. I will look for a picture I recall taking of my wife on the rocks at the base looking up at the tower real close up. This might answer your question.
Geoff, go here and you will see what happens when you get up close.

I resisted going to see this. I thought I had seen it before. I thought it was like the mesas we have further south. All I can say about it: this is something you can't appreciate as what it is unless you are there. And you really don't get what it is unless you are within feet of it.
Once I was drug to the base of it, I was so glad I was there.
Excellent view!
Beautiful colors!
Warm regards
WOW! Great composition and details!!!
