Things To Do
A 0.4-mile-long ridge connects Maroon Peak, Colorado’s 24th highest mountain at 14,156 feet, to 14,014-foot North Maroon Peak. The two peaks together, called the Maroon Bells, form one of the state’s best scenic vistas, especially in late September when golden aspen trees reflect in Maroon Lake. Climbers usually ascend Maroon Peak, rising 12 miles southwest of Aspen, up its South Ridge. Most then traverse over to North Maroon along an exposed and spectacular ridge. The mountain’s first known ascent was in 1908 by Percy Hagerman up the Southwest Face in 11 hours round trip. The mountain is also sometimes called South Maroon Peak.
