    The Wild Loop is a short, accessible, hikers-only 1.8 mile loop that circumnavigates the amazing Devil's Backbone Formation. From this intersection where the loop splits, you get great views of the Devil's Backbone itself, as well as the surrounding area, including the Front Range, and colorful reddish rocky outcroppings and hills that dot the Open Space. This is a great place to pause, tighten your shoelaces, and snap a few photos before continuing on the Wild Loop.
