The Maroon Bells Will Take Your Breath Away

Not long ago I visited the Maroon Bells just outside Aspen and Snowmass, CO and found it to be one of the most picturesque places. I went with several friends on a beautiful day in July, and we hiked up a short and easy trail along the Maroon Creek. We got some great pictures and I would love to go back sometime soon.

Some important information if you're planning a trip to the Maroon Bells is that vehicle access is restricted, but there are shuttles that run on a regular schedule and the drivers are great fun and very knowledgeable about the area.
