The Maroon Bells, comprising Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak in the Elk Mountains near Aspen, Colorado, are iconic and picturesque mountain peaks. Known for their distinctive maroon color, these peaks, standing over 14,000 feet, are set against the backdrop of the Maroon Lake. The area is renowned for its breathtaking alpine landscape, making it a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking and photography. The Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, ensures the preservation of this pristine wilderness.
