Devils Causeway #1803.3
The Devil's Causeway Trail is a spur off the Chinese Wall Trail. The trail follows a narrow strip of land that connects two major sections of the Flat Tops. Both sides of the trail are 60'-80' cliffs with steep talus slopes dropping another 600'-800' into the drainage below. The rough, 3' wide crest can be crossed on foot, but it is impassable for horses.
