The Most-Photographed Mountain In USA Is Right Here In Colorado

Whether or not you reside in Colorado, you are sure to have seen it: a colorful and majestic mountain and forest landscape complete with snow-capped peaks above and crystal-clear water below. You know the location that I am talking about, right? If you guessed the Maroon Bells, you are correct, as these Colorado mountains are by far the most photographed in the country:

Located near Aspen, the Maroon Bells are a jaw-dropping natural wonder that is worth visiting every season.

Housing two 14,000-foot peaks, the Maroon Bells are encompassed by mature and colorful trees, as well as the lake below that acts as a mirror to the mountains.

Year after year, the Maroon Bells are named one of the best places to take photos as well as one of the most beautiful places on earth, and we couldn't agree more!

Can you see why so many people bring their cameras to the Maroon Bells?

In addition to its more iconic landscape, the Maroon Bells are also home to ample wildlife, as well as hikes ranging in distance from less than 1.5 miles to more than 22 miles.

The hike to see the mountains is the Maroon Peak Trail, which spans nearly 11-miles round-trip and is best used between March and September.

To learn more about the Maroon Bells, including current conditions and announcements, please visit the U.S. Forest Service's website or call (970) 945-3319.

While the views themselves are completely priceless, there is a charge for parking, which varies from $5 to $20 on weekdays and $10 to $25 on the weekends.
