Make a Deal with the Devil's Causeway

🐾 Strenuous

Dog-friendly

One of the best hikes in the area, an hour’s drive to the trailhead in the Flat Tops Wilderness. A 6-mile out-and-back or 10-mile loop; at mile 3 you reach the famous land bridge, about 6 feet wide with big drop-offs on either side.

Local tip

Don't worry about crossing the Causeway. You can always turn around, and the views from there are well worth it.

Your base for all of it.

Escape Chalet sits in the mountain district at the base of Mount Werner, a flat ten-minute walk from the gondola, with the free Green Line bus stopping 50 feet from the door.
