Maroon Bells, Colorado: Winter Hiking
We HAD to see the Maroon Bells while in Aspen, Colorado. So we hiked the Crater Lake Trail, 3.6 miles up and back, to see the Deadly Bells (the most photographed peaks in North America). These mountains have been featured in commercials and movies, and you'll see why! We hiked at a fast pace, taking us about 60 minutes to do the entire trek. But we also almost died from shortness of breath with the altitude change!
Music: Run Away - Waking September
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS:
You must pay an entrance fee since it is a National Park (Or have a park pass!)
The only road to see these mountains closes within the first couple weeks of November due to snow. And during the peak season in summer, you have to take a shuttle due to large amounts of traffic. The best time to go is late fall/early winter if you want to avoid crowds and skip the shuttle!

Backpacking Lone Eagle Peak and Crater Lake (2019)
Join D’n’A Ventures for their very first backpacking trip through the Indian Peaks Wilderness just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park, near the town of Granby, Colorado. This hike is rated as difficult and will require a 14.9 round trip hike up 2,000 ft. in elevation through a massive valley to pristine backcountry. Starting from the Monarch Lake Trailhead, we hike up for 7.3 miles passing a raging waterfall called Cascade Falls. Eventually we reach the alpine lakes of Mirror and Crater Lake that sit under the infamous Lone Eagle Peak and Mt. Achonee of the Continental Divide. Lone Eagle Peak is a jagged mountain with and epic and iconic look to it. Lone Eagle Peak sits at an elevation of 11,920 feet in elevation and its majestic beauty is reflected in Mirror and Crater Lakes that lie beneath it. Hiking around Crater and Mirror Lake in the summer provides a myriad of opportunities to see countless waterfalls, unique wildlife and endless blooms of wildflowers. This place is serene and the effort require to get up there is met with a massive payoff. Crater Lake sits in a huge bowl under steep snow covered cliffs of a cirque. The stillness of the alpine lakes, the silence of the backcountry, and a vivid gaze into the Milky Way are sure to leave a lasting impact all who journey to this special place. Permits for backcountry sites are in high demand and challenging to acquire during the summer and fall months, plan ahead to reserve a campsite. Fires are not allowed in the backcountry, all water taken from the site should be filtered, and leave no trace policies should be followed to help persevere this amazing place for future generations. Unfortunately on our first backpacking trip ever, D’n’A Ventures made the rookie mistake of carrying way too much gear in our backpacks. It’s important to not make this mistake and try to bring only the bear necessities. Your back, neck, and shoulders will thank you. Since D’n’A Ventures has a little experience backpacking now if you want to us make videos covering this topic more thoroughly please comment down below. Overall this was the backpacking trip of a life time, we feel so fortunate we were able to experience this fantastic place. We want to take this opportunity to thank our dear friends who organized and planned this backpacking adventure, we are super grateful you included us in the journey as well as, providing excellent backpacking tips pre and post trip. Thanks homies.
Thank you for hiking with us today! If you would like to connect further check out the following
