The Maroon Bells Wilderness Area is a place of unparalleled beauty. The area boasts two of Colorado's most photographed peaks, the Maroon Bells. The peaks rise to an elevation of over 14,000 feet and are surrounded by glacial valleys, alpine lakes and vast expanses of wildflowers. As I explored the area, I was struck by the natural majesty on display. The crystal clear alpine lakes shimmered in the sunlight and the wildflowers painted the valleys in a rainbow of colors. The area is a hiker's paradise, with a variety of trails ranging from leisurely strolls to strenuous ascents. The views from the summits are simply breathtaking. The surrounding forests are home to a variety of wildlife including black bears, elk, mountain lions and wolves. It's truly a must-visit location for any nature enthusiast.
