Here Is The Most Remote, Isolated Place In The Entire U.S.

With so many bustling cities and highly-visited attractions, it’s difficult to imagine that there are any remote places in the U.S. Yet these places exist and, largely unspoiled by human interference, they are perhaps the most stunning areas of the entire country. If you’re curious to experience, isolated spot in the entire country — excluding Hawaii and Alaska — head to the pristine landscape of Hinsdale County, Colorado.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Hinsdale County is the least-densely populated area in all of Colorado. According to the 2010 census, the population is roughly 800.

The landscape of Hinsdale County is characterized by the gorgeous peaks of the San Juan Mountains, many of which exceed 14,000 ft in altitude.

Hinsdale is one of the few places in the lower 48 where someone could wander 10 miles away from a road or town. Such factors are the best way to indicate an area's remoteness and isolation.

This area of Colorado is 95% Federal Land, which ensures both preservation and protection.

In fact, the Continental Divide crosses Hinsdale County twice, as hiking enthusiasts can experience along the Continental Divide Trail.
