Devils Causeway

Devils Causeway is a narrow mountain ridge in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area sitting at around 12,300 feet elevation with steep drop-offs on both sides. The trail crosses a distinctive section where the path becomes only a few feet wide.

The ridge served as an important passage for Native American tribes moving through the Flat Tops Wilderness Area long before European settlement arrived. This ancient route connected different regions for hunting and trade.

The trail draws outdoor enthusiasts who share their experiences crossing the narrow path through photographs and stories with others. These moments have become part of how the hiking community remembers the place.

The round trip hike from Stillwater Reservoir covers several miles and requires sturdy footwear and navigation tools for staying on route. Visitors should prepare for sudden weather shifts at high elevation and bring layers for changing conditions.

At its narrowest point the path is only about three feet wide, which forces many hikers to crawl across on hands and knees due to the exposure. This section is what makes the experience memorable for most visitors.
