Maroon Bells Scenic Visit

Wildlife is often seen during a visit to the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area

The twin peaks of Maroon and North Maroon rise above Maroon Lake, creating a breathtaking reflection in the crystal-clear waters. Surrounded by lush forests and alpine meadows, the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for hiking, picnicking, and wildlife spotting. Whether visiting in the vibrant summer, the golden hues of fall, or the snow-covered spring the Maroon Bells provide a serene and awe-inspiring escape into nature.
