"A
Guide to Colorado's Best Photography Locations"
Some places are particularly
photogenic, they produce quintessential Colorado images.

Maroon Bells & Maroon Lake define
Colorado (Trails Illustrated Map 128). They must surely be the most
published, rugged mountains and mountain lake scene of Colorado. Most
photographs taken here place Maroon Lake in the foreground and the
dramatic Maroon Bells in the background. This location photographs
extremely well anytime of the year, however, the best lighting is found
during sunrise and early morning while the sun is behind you. Maroon
Lake is just a few miles from Aspen and very easy to find. Directions: Drive north out of Aspen
on State Hwy 82. As you leave town, but before you reach the airport,
you will enter a traffic circle (roundabout). Take the Maroon Creek
Road exit and follow about 10 miles to its end. Park in the large,
paved parking lot. From the parking lot, walk west on the trail about
100 yards to the lake.
Note: In order to control the
number of visitors June through September, Maroon Creek Road closes
during the day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During these times, a
shuttle bus from Aspen transports visitors to the lake at a cost of
$5.50 per person.
