Maroon Bells, USA
This beautiful place is located only about 10 miles away from Aspen, Colorado. The Maroon Bells are 14,000-foot peaks in the Elk Mountains
that are reflected in crystal-clear Maroon Lake, snuggled in a glacial valley.
They are the crown jewels of the Rocky Mountains and by far one of the most
photographed scenes in the country.
It is difficult
to say when the timeless beauty of these two sentinels mirrored in the lake is
more striking: In the summer, when every hiking trail takes you through fields
of wild flowers, in the fall, when tall aspen trees dazzle with a rainbow of
fall colors, or in the winter, when snow and ice silence the world. The best
photo opportunities are from one of the many hiking trails – access by motor
vehicles is limited. The lake is popular among fly-fishermen – even if they
don’t catch anything, the beauty all around them is enough.
