The Maroon Bells, just out­side of Aspen Col­orado, are one of the most pho­tographed group of moun­tains  in Col­orado.  To get there from Aspen head west on Maroon Creek Road just south of town.  The short drive up Maroon Creek Drive is worth the trip alone for its beauty,  espe­cially in the fall.  At the end of the road park your vehi­cle and take a short walk to Maroon Lake. The views of the lake and the moun­tains are spec­tac­u­lar.  A sight not to be missed. There’s plenty of hik­ing and fish­ing in the area along with wildlife view­ing. In past trips we have seen deer, elk, beaver, blue heron, coy­ote, fox and all kinds of birds. Though we have not seen a bear our­selves, you may have the oppor­tu­nity to see one.  In the spring and sum­mer the wild­flow­ers are not to be missed as they cover the sides of the trails and fields.

Look for our free full color 2010 cal­en­dar down­load avail­able this fall.
