AAA Editor Notes
Maroon Bells is 9 mi. s.w. off SR 82. The jagged peaks of the Maroon Bells are some of the country’s most photographed mountains. Many souvenir snapshots feature their reflection in the waters of Maroon Lake. The loftiest of the peaks towers at 14,156 feet. Hiking trails, picnicking and fishing are available in front of the mountain at the lake. Aspen Center for Environmental Studies offers free naturalist-led guided walks along Maroon Lake and up to Crater Lake from early June through Labor Day.
