The Maroon Bells are two 14,000-foot peaks near Aspen, Colorado

The Maroon Bells are two 14,000-foot peaks near Aspen, Colorado, famous for being the most photographed mountains in North America, known for their bell shape and maroon color from iron-bearing minerals. They are a popular destination for hiking, photography, and enjoying the scenery, especially around Maroon Lake, with access typically managed by a shuttle bus during peak season (mid-June to early October) and requiring advance reservations for both vehicles and buses. Iconic scenery: The peaks reflect in Maroon Lake, creating a stunning, iconic view, especially with golden aspen groves in the fall. Geology: The maroon color comes from hematite, an iron-bearing mineral, and the valley was carved by glaciers. Activities: Hiking trails range from easy walks around the lake to more strenuous hikes like the one to Crater Lake at the base of the peaks, and the challenging Four Pass Loop. Biking is also popular. Wildlife: The area is part of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, home to diverse wildlife and habitats. #cute #funny #2ndbirthday
