Devils Head, Mountain summit in Pike National Forest, Colorado, US
Devils Head rises to 9,749 feet in elevation within the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, featuring distinctive rock formations at its peak.
The United States Forest Service constructed the first fire lookout tower at Devils Head in 1912, establishing a crucial monitoring point for the region.
The mountain received its name from 19th-century prospectors who observed a profile resembling a face with horns when viewed from the southwest.
Visitors can access the summit through Devils Head National Recreation Trail, climbing 940 feet over 1.4 miles to reach the lookout tower.
Helen Dowe made history at Devils Head as the first female fire lookout ranger in the United States Forest Service system.
