Devils Pocket Trail begins at mile 2.8 of the trail to Chesler Park. It passes through some of the best spires in the park, through the flat grassy bottomed valleys ("grabens") of Devil's Pocket and finishes along the northern edge of Chesler Park. It is a wonderfully scenic route and not much used.
