Review Post

Today I want to share a short review of:

 Maroon Bells in Aspen, Colorado.

First of all, I give this tourist destination an A plus.

I will elaborate more on Maroon Bells at a later time, but I would like to give an initial review of this magical place.

Maroon Bells is one of the most photographed places possibly in the country, and is a very popular place for tourists to come who are visiting Colorado.

Maroon Bells is nestled in the White River National Forest, and located just outside of Aspen, Colorado.

I had the opportunity to travel to Maroon Bells in May of 2017, and I did that just based on reviews I had read about Maroon Bells, so I am hoping my review of Maroon Bells will encourage others to take a trip to see this beautiful place.

Maroon Bells offers multiple different trails that range from easy to moderate, though if you’re not from Colorado, the altitude can be a bit intense at first which may make the hikes seem harder.

Keep in mind, you’re at a starting elevation of 11,000 feet, which is very high up. It took me around 2 days to get fully adjusted to the elevation and altitude change.

There are quite a few easy, scenic trails that are good for photographing especially. 

There are also quite a few harder trails that had us hiking through three feet of snow. I knew that since we went at the end of May, there would still be some snow left from the winter. I have read that the snow doesn’t fully melt until mid-summer. Although I hiked through snow, the views made every moment worth it. I have never seen such stunning mountains in my life!
