This beautiful place is perfect for hiking and sightseeing during summer. The hike wasn't strenuous. It's a good hike for families and varied abilities. There are lots of scenic views to enjoy too and it's very relaxing. My favorite view is the mountains reflecting in the lake.

Maroon Bells-Snowmass is exemplary of all that the Rocky Mountains are known for and is one of the area's most visited wildernesses. With six peaks over 14,000 feet high, thousands of mountaineers seek its heights every year. One hundred miles of trail lead past alpine lakes, including Maroon Lake whose reflection of the Maroon Bells has become the iconic image of the state. Hikers are drawn to its clear, blue skies, the hot springs at Conundrum Creek and a plethora of wildflowers in midsummer. The area was designated when the Wilderness Act passed fifty years ago, in 1964.
