Devil's Elbow, Mo.

Having grown up in Duffield, if you knew the area of Bible Belt it’s in you’d understand the name, lol.

Also, it’s named Devils Bathtub because it’s off of Devils Fork trail. There’s also another steep hilly road that may or not be accessible in Duffield called Devils Race Path!

Wow that is a bad ass view

Saved it in AllTrails. Thanks for the recommendation ❤️

Indeed. Devil’s postpile - Mammoth Lakes, CA

And cocaine. Lots of cocaine.

Why couldn't this be named "the angels butthole" or something cool?

I grew up not too far from there. It’s cool to see it posted here, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you’re ever down that way again, I recommend the Channels in Rosedale, VA!

Devils Bathtub plays an important role in Barbara Kingsolver’s book, Demon Copperhead. So cool to see a photo and that it completely matches the book’s description

While I don't doubt there is some element of this going on, I would point out that there is a "Devil's Cauldron" in Lydford Gorge, Devon, UK - one that to anybody familiar with the area, the above image could be very reminiscent of.

Now, that doesn't detract from your later comment, and that there absolutely should be an effort to reinstate/formally adopt the native names where they existed in the US...but it may be an explanation as to where some of those places may have got names that aren't rooted in colonialist bigotry.

In some cases it could be as simple as the people finding these places (particularly in the eastern US/older states) were reminded of something from 'home' and named it as such (and that pattern would hold as you expand west, with the next example being named after it's eastern US counterpart). It's why you have so many towns and cities sharing names with European (and especially English) towns and cities too.

That does sound fairly typical of colonial America.

Rightfully so. It's incredible.

This picture almost looks like its created on software in 3d

"There's a geographical feature that's something other than flat plains or rolling hills.... must be The Devil's (TM) doings!"

Fun fact: The pyramids were originally white.

Devil's Tower is probably most famous of them

I think you've made a smart choice, especially if it takes you on a grand adventure like visiting Antarctica. Good for you.

Might have to check this out. Is the hike worth the view?

The right side of this image looks like a hawk to me
