Exploring One of Colorado’s Most Remote Mountain Regions - They Were Nothing Like We Expected!

Far beyond Colorado’s famous mountain passes lies the remote wilderness of the Flat Tops — a rugged and isolated backcountry region filled with endless ridgelines, alpine forests, and remote mountain roads. In this expedition through White River National Forest, we explore one of the most overlooked overland destinations in the American West. Known for its massive plateaus and sprawling wilderness, the Flat Tops region offers a very different side of Colorado compared to the crowded alpine passes farther south. Remote campsites, endless forest roads, and dramatic mountain scenery make this one of the most unique backcountry regions in the state. Along the journey, we travel deep into Colorado’s mountain backcountry, navigating rugged forest roads and exploring remote alpine terrain far from the crowds.
