Devils Head, Mountain summit in Pike National Forest, Colorado, US

Devils Head is a 9,749-foot (2,971 m) summit in the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, in Pike National Forest, 14.2 miles southwest by south of Sedalia in Douglas County, Colorado. The Devil's Head Lookout, an active United States Forest Service fire lookout tower, stands on the top and is reached by the Devils Head National Recreation Trail.

Devils Head takes its name from late-1800s prospectors: seen from the southwest, the mountain reads as a face lying flat and looking up, with horns still visible though trees have softened an old eye socket. The summit carries the Devil's Head Lookout, an active United States Forest Service fire lookout tower reached by the Devils Head National Recreation Trail. Earlier names recorded for the peak include The Sleeping Indian, Camels Back, Platte Mountain and Warrens Crag, with Devils Head in use by 1923.

The name Devils Head was given by prospectors in the late 1800s. Seen from the southwest, looking northeast toward the peak, the mountain reads as a face lying flat and gazing upward, with horns still visible; forest growth has softened an eye socket and other features. Earlier names recorded for the summit include The Sleeping Indian, Camels Back, Platte Mountain and Warrens Crag.

The Devils Head National Recreation Trail climbs from the trailhead to the summit and lookout tower. The route is marked, but weather and trail conditions change with the seasons, so wear sturdy footwear. The summit lies 14.2 miles southwest by south of Sedalia in Douglas County.

The summit holds the Devil's Head Lookout, an active United States Forest Service fire lookout tower reached by the Devils Head National Recreation Trail. The peak also appears under earlier names, among them The Sleeping Indian, Camels Back, Platte Mountain and Warrens Crag, before Devils Head was recorded in 1923.
