Summary: Join in on National Trails Day to restore a historic trail to Colorado's last operating fire lookout on the Front Range.
Description: The Devil's Head Trail, located in the Rampart Range between Denver and Colorado Springs, climbs 948 feet in elevation and culminates at a massive granite rock outcrop at the highest point of Devil's Head Mountain. Atop this massive pinnacle, sits Devil's Head Fire Lookout Tower, the last operating fire lookout along Colorado's Front Range. The original structure was built in 1912 with materials packed up the mountain by mules. The trail is one of a very few non-motorized trails in the Rampart Range motorized recreation area. Over the weekend, volunteers will focus on replacing logs that are being utilized as steps, check dams, and water bars. These logs were installed over 15 years ago and have deteriorated and/or are no longer effective. Hike up to the fire lookout, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow volunteers, and contribute to the safety and sustainability of this heavily used, historic trail.
