Tucked away near Sedalia is the historic Devil's Head Lookout; a site on the National Register of Historic Places that boasts some of the best views in all of Colorado.
Originally established in 1912 (and built in 1919), Devil's Head is now home to one of the best hikes in the state, thanks to its nearby 1.4-mile dirt trail.
Please note: While the trail itself is less than two miles, it has an elevation gain of almost 1,000 feet, plus 143 steps to get to the top of the actual tower.
To reach the Devil's Head Lookout Trail, head west of Sedalia on Highway 67 for roughly 10 miles until you reach Rampart Range Road, then turn left (south). Drive down Rampart Range Road for 8.5 miles to reach the trailhead.
