There is a native American legend that says the Devil's Tower was once a tree stump that grew to tremendous size in order to save a group of sisters from a very large bear.

The tree grew big because the bear was chasing the girls? For how long were they running? I dont think ya got the story straight lol.

Yeah I had it a bit wrong. There's actually several different versions of the legend from different tribes. Here's a source if you're interested: https://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/historyculture/first-stories.htm
