The Devil’s Causeway, located in the Flat Tops Wilderness, is a rarely talked about Colorado gem. Resembling a massive wall rising up from the landscape, this is one of the most unique geological features in the state. The ridge runs between the drainage of William Fork River and White River, frequently visited by the bravest outdoorsmen and women around.

The narrow ridge is only accessible by hikers, many of which typically start at a trail near Stillwater Reservoir.

At an elevation of 11,800 feet and with a chilling width of only four feet in some places, this ridge hike isn’t for the faint of heart.

The drops on each side vary, but can be as much as several hundred feet.
If you want to attempt the hike yourself, look forward to amazing views. Just be careful with the uneven footing and very dangerous cliffs.
