Maroon Bells | Breaux | Aspen

Artist Tim Breaux

The Maroon Bells in Colorado can be found southwest of Aspen. The view from Maroon Lake is both stunning and accessible.  The lake was formed in the glacial valley by a rockslide thousands of years ago.  Purposeful designers could not have done a better job.  The two peaks, Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, are named after the maroon mudstone that is predominant in the valley.

When I stand before a place like this, I can’t help but wonder about the history and the people that have traveled this way in the past.

I’m sure they stared in awe like me.
