Maroon Bells

Sat November 22, 2008

These pics are from a hike near Aspen, CO, in a valley next to the Maroon Bells. This area is so popular that everyone has to take a shuttle bus in the area during summer days. If you go really early or in the evening the road is open to cars. We hiked up the valley along West Maroon Peak past two alpine lakes. It's a very scenic area. These pics are from late June, the beginning of wildflower season in the Colorado mountains.

We could see Maroon Peak (a 14er) and North Maroon Peak from our campsite.

On the hike up to the lakes, we past by a waterfall.

And there were flowers starting to come out.
