Maroon Bells

The Maroon Bells are two stunning, snow-capped peaks located in Colorado’s Elk Mountains, near Aspen. Named Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, they stand about 14,000 feet high and are famous for their striking maroon-colored slopes caused by mineral-rich rock. Surrounded by a pristine wilderness area, these peaks are a popular destination for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers, offering breathtaking views and vibrant fall foliage. The area is protected as part of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, allowing visitors to experience its natural beauty while preserving its pristine environment.
