The Maroon Bells are a single Massif with multiple peaks reaching over 14,000 ft. The rock that makes up these mountains and the rest of the Elk Mountains is crumbly and very unstable at best. Maroon Peak 14,156' (Left) & North Maroon 14,014' (Right) are known as the Deadly Bells, because of the number of climber's lives they have claimed. Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness Area, near Aspen, Colorado USA.
The iconic Maroon Bells in Colorado's Elk Mtns are a must see! We photographers want to get "The Shot" here, but no matter how wonderful a capture is... it pales in comparison to the awe we experience standing in front of these Rocky Mountain wonders.
