What's Cookin' in Devils Kitchen: Colorado National Monument
It was a nice morning when I hiked Devils Kitchen trail. Not too hot, low humidity, and a little cloudy. I was the only person on the trail and didn't encounter anyone until I was on my way back from "the Kitchen." The trail is rated moderate. There is a steep drop from the parking area down to the seasonal creek bed and is fairly flat for a while. Once you get to the base of the rock formation it is a rugged climb from there. There are some steps carved into the rock and look for cairns to assist in the ascent. When you leave, the descent can be a little difficult. Many times it is difficult to see the trail because it is very steep and the cairns and steps are hard to spot.
The "Kitchen" is actually a wonderful place to eat a snack, have a drink, or just rest and enjoy the solitude. Remember, what you take in you take out. Leave the area cleaner than you found it. Across from the parking area is a nice picnic area with sheltered tables and a restroom.
Please do not carve into the formation. Take all the pictures you want, but pick-up your trash and leave everything as is. Our natural wonders should be left "natural". They don't need names, dates, initials, etc., and our garbage left in/on them. Thanks.

We travel in a 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE front-wheel drive with over 90,000 miles. We are still praying for a small Scamp or Aliner to tow behind it.
