Between Alpine and Clifton lies a route locals call the Devil’s Highway.
Over 460 curves cut through the mountains. The road climbs past forests, cliffs, and elevations above 9,000 feet. Allow at least 4 hours.
Each turn gives you a new direction.
Each stretch takes something familiar away.
Pro Tip:
Allow at least 4 hours for the full drive this is a road to be savored, not rushed.
Where nature doesn’t perform, it exists
At 8,000 feet, the world feels less edited.
Everything is closer.
Everything is slower.
Everything is more present.
Escudilla Mountain offers steady climbs and wide summit views. The Blue Range stretches into quiet, less-traveled trails.
Luna Lake stays still long enough for you to notice detail. Rainbow and brook trout move beneath the surface, appearing and disappearing without pattern.

You are entering their space. The forest here is active even when it appears still. Elk move through the trees without making a sound, while hummingbirds cut across the air in quick, fleeting flashes. Coati pass through the terrain with an ease that feels like they already understand every hidden path, and bighorn sheep stand quietly on steep edges that seem impossible for anything to hold, yet they remain completely at ease.
