Maroon Bells

The Maroon Bells are two beautiful reddish peaks near Aspen that reflect in a calm mountain lake below them. They are often called the most photographed mountains in all of North America.

People adore the mirror-like view of the twin peaks in Maroon Lake, especially in fall when golden aspen trees glow all around. It is a peaceful, jaw-dropping spot that looks like a painting come to life.

Scenery
