I revisited Maroon Lake to experience again the scenic beauty and the excitement of climbing three of the most photographed mountains in the U.S. Pyramid Peak and the Maroon Bells huddle around Maroon Lake like old friends around a campfire. The purple rock, green trees and grass, and perfect blue skies I enjoyed this week fed my soul. All three... More

I've been seeing pictures of the Maroon Mountains for years so when we were passing through Aspen again, I wanted to see them. I had heard they were so crowded during certain times of the year you had to take a bus because of limited parking at the trailhead. Well, it is crowded but I guess in Sept. less so... More

Hiked as far as Crater Lake. Be sure to bring water and lots of bug spray. The scenery is spectacular. More

My original intention in visiting the Bells was to get there early enough that I wouldn't have to take the bus. As it was, we were a little late getting out of breakfast and so we ended up taking the bus after all. It cost us $6 per person round trip (they take your ticket on the way there and... More
