Mount Roosevelt and Friendship Tower
Mar 24, 2015
Seth Bullock met Theodore Roosevelt during Roosevelt's years on a North Dakota Ranch. The two remained friends during his presidency and Roosevelt appointed Bullock U.S. Marshall. Shortly after Roosevelt's death in 1919, Bullock and the Society of the Black Hills Pioneers built Friendship Tower on what's now known as Mount Roosevelt as a memorial to his friend. You can find the trailhead leading to the 31-foot tower on the north edge of Deadwood. Head out of town on Highway 85, take a left on Mount Roosevelt Road and follow it for about 2 1/2 miles to the trailhead, parking lot and picnic area. Photos by Ryan Clayton, Rapid City.
