Review:
The Maroon Bells, two peaks of Elk Mountain, are the most photographed mountains in the world and with their majestic image reflected across the still waters of Maroon Lake, it’s no wonder.
The rising sun colors them golden, creating an unbelievably beautiful vista.
You can get the best view from Maroon Lake, which you can reach by taking a public bus that leaves from Aspen Highlands.
Traffic by car is limited.
During the winter, you can also get to the peaks by cross-country skis or by a snowmobile. T-Lazy 7 Ranch organizes fun and informative tours.
If you are wondering what to do in Aspen this summer, this is a beautiful place to visit.
A trip to Maroon Bells can turn into an incredible adventure for those who like high adrenaline thrills.
The lake is only 12 miles from Aspen, and taking a trip there is something all visitors to Aspen make a point of doing.
