Colorado Photos Maroon Bells, White River National Forest Previous Photo : Photo Index : Next Photo Set in a picture postcard valley of pines, aspen trees and shallow lakes, the Maroon Bells mountains are one of Colorado's most photographed. The Maroon Lake shoreline is busy with snap happy tourists on almost every day of the year. A hike up the valley leads to greater tranquility. This view is about a half mile up from the waterside viewpoints and was taken from a silly position lying on the ground :) If you would like to use a photo, please write and ask. I almost always agree. Mail Form Here!
