Topographical Map

Devil Mtn is at the end of FR-626, a long rough drive requiring high clearance and a creeper gear. Above the outhouse marking the hunter camp about half a mile below the summit are ledges across the road and you may wish to park. There is also a little-used trail up. The tower was bulit in 1955 to take over lookout duties from Chimney Rock. In the 1990's it was sold to the Jicarilla Tribe in New Mexico and moved to a location on their lands, where it is called Atole. The remaining footings on Devil Mtn are used for a radio tower, and some views have been cleared from ground level.
