Devil's Head Lookout - Hiking area in Sedalia - S Rampart Range Rd, USA

This was my first experience hiking and it has such pretty views. The walk is worth it in the end, and I really think the stairs to the top was the hardest part. There's a few resting points along the way to take breaks. I recommend bring some snacks and water. The best time to go is a little earlier before everyone gets there(I went around 7/8).

The Devil's Head Lookout is a really great hiking and sight seeing experience that is fairly easily accessible to most hikers of all ages. There was little kids (maybe 6-7 years old?) and older people that were able to make the hike, but it still can be a challenge and fun adventure for any experience level. Once you get to the very top lookout tower, the views are absolutely amazing and the landscape you can see in 360 degrees is stunning. They had a park ranger in the tower when I went up and she shared a lot of interesting information about the area. I would highly recommend checking it out.

Loved this hike! The views were breathtaking and it was the right amount of a challenge. Made it to the lookout without spikes but there were definitely some icy areas.

Loved this hike. It wasn't super challenging from a distance and elevation perspective. The views were amazing, but it was cloudy and hazy in August. We talked to the ranger for a bit. She just wants people to know that she is working up there and isn't a personal tour guide.

Devils Head Lookout was one of the most breathtaking views I have ever had a privilege to witness! Now, I will say that the hike to the very top of the fire red stairs, is moderately a workout, especially if you’re traveling from another state where you’re not already above sea level. So I will advice to take as many breaks as possible if you’re struggling to breathe (especially since it’s about 9,000 feet above sea level). Regardless of the efforts to get to the top, the view itself washes away all of that. I highly recommend this hike to everyone!

Hiked mid-July on a Sunday and reached the trailhead around 3:15 pm. Was able to find parking at the main lot. If going earlier parking might become an issue. Coming to the trail; very dry with slippery sandy portions so make sure you are hiking with good traction shoes. The views from the top are amazing to say the least with continental divide very visible and clear. Windy at the top so prepare accordingly and Sunscreen up y’all!

This would be a great place to hike but it has steps all throughout the trail making it a hike I wouldn’t say is authentic for Colorado. There are great views from the top of the tower and as others mention, it does get windy up top but worth going up the stairs for the view. No need for a mask as suggested, this says you’re not from here and should find a different trail, maybe a concrete one. It makes me sad that trails are becoming a place where stairs are used to make it up to the top. We won’t be back to this trail again. If you’re from CO, I’m guessing you’ll feel the same way we felt.

Pretty easy in my opinion and I don’t hile all the time. Take water and snacks! The views on the way up and at thw top is worth going for. They have "rest stops" (bemch seating) along the way.
