The Number One hike in the Flat Tops Wilderness area is the Devils Causeway, a 6 mile out-and-back hike to a narrow 4-foot wide 50-foot long land bridge.

Hike up the switchbacks, tiptoe or crawl across the Causeway, get some selfies, crawl back across then descend back to the trailhead.

Or you can add in a loop to spend more time in the beautiful backcountry and make it a 11 mile loop instead of just seeing the quick tourist hit. Volcanic cliffs, alpine tundra, beautiful lakes – it’s a shame that most people do the Causeway and then turn back!
