The Devil's Path was named such by early settlers who claimed the devil must have made the mountains so that he alone could climb them to retreat from the human world.

It was exhausting but made worth it by the expansive views over the Big Indian Wilderness and Hunter mountain ranges covered with fall colors.
Here are our different elevation points we gained:
