The mountain is about 12 miles/19km southwest of Aspen, CO. Both peaks are counted as fourteeners. Maroon Peak, at 14156 feet/4315m, is the 27th highest peak in Colorado; North Maroon Peak, at 14014 feet/4271m, is the 50th highest. The view of the Maroon Bells from the Maroon Creek valley to the northeast is one of the most famous scenes in Colorado, and is reputed to be the "most-photographed spot in Colorado" and one of Colorado's premier scenic overlooks. . . . .
