Although we are welcome to visit their home and observe their interaction with their habitat, we must not interfere. The protection of the wildlife and their habitat creates lots of restrictions. All roads except the Devil's Highway are closed to public use. Firearms are prohibited. Charcoal fires are permitted, wood fires are not.
Camping is permitted anywhere along the highway except within one quarter mile of a water source.
Collecting plants or critters is forbidden. Treasure hunting, collecting rocks or minerals, and littering are all major offenses. So many restrictions are difficult to enforce, yet the future of the Devil's Highway depends on visitors who will obey those restrictions without being policed. It would be so easy to simply lock up both ends like so many Wilderness areas across the country. It would be so easy to put a post in the middle of the road like so may national forest roads and desert roads throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
