2013 Map of Maroon Bells

About this map

Maroon Bells and Maroon Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. This 2013 survey details a complex network of high-altitude paths, including the Maroon Snowmass Trail 1975.1 and the West Maroon Pass Trail 1970.1, which trace the drainages of West Maroon Creek and East Maroon Creek. The map serves as a detailed guide to the remote interior of the Elk Mountains, locating specialized sites like the Conundrum Hot Springs and high-alpine bodies of water such as Willow Lake and Maroon Lake. Geological landmarks like the Pyramid Peak and Sleeping Sexton punctuate the ridges, while established sites like the Maroon Lake Campground and East Maroon Trailhead mark the primary points of entry for those navigating these steep mountain passes.
