Flat Tops Wilderness Area, Nature reserve in Eagle County, Colorado, US
The Flat Tops Wilderness Area spans 235,000 acres across White River National Forest, featuring plateaus, lakes, and mountain peaks reaching 12,361 feet in elevation.
In 1932, the U.S. Forest Service designated 118,230 acres of Routt and White River national forests as the Flat Tops Primitive Area for conservation purposes.
The Devil's Causeway trail leads hikers across a narrow rock formation that represents a significant geological landmark within the wilderness territory.
Visitors need printed maps and navigation tools as the wilderness contains over 160 miles of trails without cellular coverage or motorized transport options.
The area contains 110 lakes, 100 miles of fishing streams, and a distinctive landscape shaped by volcanic activity that created horizontal basalt flows.
