Peaceful and tranquil setting after the roar of the snowmobile engines for an hour. Hot apple cider in a spectacular setting while the kids snowballed one another

This ws a very exhausting hike. Not for a beginner. Make sure if you hike in the area to bring more than a day pack in case a snow squall comes up and you get stuck up in the mountains overnight.

I am so glad I made it to this beautiful spot! A group of us went and we first wanted to drive up, but learned that there were restrictions when you could do so. The road is accessible to cars from 5pm to 9am (yeah NOT bankers hours) and there is a $10 fee. We ended up taking the bus... More

The Maroon Bells never get old. My friend was visiting from England and we drove to the Bells. Everything was covered in snow. It was so beautiful. In summer there are more people and you have to take up a bus. In October it felt like an entirely new place!

Early in the morning, the mountains and the sky reflected off of the lake is breathtaking! Professional photographers come early!

I went with a friend on their snowmobile tour to the Maroon Bells in mid-March, 2012. The weather was gorgeous and the view of the Bells was truly stunning. I was glad to have finally been able to see them in the winter. We went on a T-Lazy-7 snowmobile tour. The guides were helpful and knowledgeable, and we were able... More

There are two lakes, one at the parking lot and one at the top of the hike. There are great logs to eat lunch on at the top. Make sure you are adjusted to altitude on your trip before taking this on!

Great snowmobile adventure. Highly recommend T Lazy 7 outfit. Easy to get to by free transportation and great group of folks to play with. Can't believe the photos. Most people will think it's photo-shopped it is so stunning, but it is real!

Being from Norway we may be hard to impress when it comes to scenic drives, but with the Maroons already being snowcapped it was a very beautiful sight coming up the valley from Aspen. The only problem was the paths being quite muddy, and we did not bring the gear necessary to venture further into the valley.

Standing atop the tourist attractions of Aspen, number one out of fifty-seven to be exact, Maroon Bells is a fun place for the whole family. This alluring place sits secluded in the vast wilderness of Colorado. It’s beautiful mountain peaks touch perfectly against the saturated colors of the crisp country air. Although this attraction may be isolated from the small... More
