About This Trail

Imported description

The first couple of miles to the Devil's Causeway are dramatic and amazing. You get a nice view of the Chinese wall once you get above the tree line. Prepare for a lot of flat, rolling tundra after the Devil's Causeway. The scenery in Colorado is amazing, so be sure to completely the loop. You will be surprised by all of the lakes. The hike is almost all downhill after the Causeway. It can be long but not really challenging.
