Four Pass Loop Backpacking - Maroon Bells (Colorado) - July 2015
I hiked the iconic Four Pass Loop in the Maroon Bells / Snowmass Wilderness near Aspen, Colorado in mid-July 2015. A co-worker of mine, Bob, and I did the loop in four days as a much-needed quick weekend getaway from work.
Prior to tackling the Loop I did quite a bit of internet research, and from all the reviews and reports I read my expectations for alpine adventure and awesome scenery were high. The Four Pass Loop lived up to all the hype - as you'll see, it is an incredibly beautiful trail.
This is also a very popular trail, and we did it during what was likely the busiest possible time of the year - a weekend in mid-July. As a result there were a lot of people! If you're looking for some of the most amazing scenery our planet has to offer, this is the right trail - if you're looking for seclusion and isolation, this isn't the place. Having now hiked Glacier National Park and the Four Pass Loop, I think the Four Pass Loop feels like what Glacier would be without the strict backcountry permit process - a bit 'overwhelmed' by its own popularity.
The Four Pass Loop has been something I have wanted to do for many years, really a 'bucket list' adventure for me, and it didn't disappoint.
Like my other backpacking videos, this is fairly long (one hour) with a photo compilation at the end. If you just want a quick overview of the trip skip to the photos at the end. For best quality select the '1080p' setting by clicking on the 'Settings' icon once the video starts playing.

Backpacking the Four Pass Loop | Maroon Bells / Snowmass Wilderness, Colorado
Footage from our groups annual backpacking trip (8/14/19 - 8/16/19) which this year took place in the beautiful state of Colorado. The four pass loop climbs four 12,000 ft passes and travels through some of the most gorgeous scenery in the state. We went clockwise and passed though the West Maroon, Frigid Air, Trail Rider and Buckskin passes in a two night, three day trip that we definitely won't forget.

Maroon Bells Hike, Colorado Rocky Mountains
Normally, a hike is unnecessary to view the stunning landscape of the Maroon Bells and the lake that sits before the two peaks because there is a road which leads directly to the viewpoint. When visiting the Maroon Bell viewpoint on this particular day, the road was closed for the Winter about 6 miles shy of the viewpoint. Seeing that we had come a long way to see the majestic Maroon Bells, we decided to hike the 6 miles up hill to the lake viewing point which was well worth it. The majority of the hike was cloud covered, however, upon arrival to the lake the clouds parted and an unbelievable viewing experience unfolded.

Information provided by Wikipedia:
The Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains, Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, separated by about a third of a mile. The mountain is on the border between Pitkin County and Gunnison County, Colorado, United States, about 12 miles southwest of Aspen. Both peaks are counted as fourteeners. Maroon Peak, at 14,156 feet, is the 27th highest peak in Colorado; North Maroon Peak, at 14,014 feet, is the 50th highest. The view of the Maroon Bells to the southwest from the Maroon Creek valley 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. The peaks are located in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness of White River National Forest.

No, you don't actually see the Maroon Bells on this video. This video is shot going the other direction. I arrived before sunrise, so that video didn't look very good.

he Maroon Bells are an increasingly popular destination for day and overnight visitors; over 300,000 people visit the Bells every season. Due to the volume of people, a bus service runs everyday from 8am-5pm from mid-June through the first weekend in October. During these times, and with just a few exceptions, personal vehicle access is limited to those with handicap placards or disability license plates. The bus runs from Aspen Highlands to Maroon Lake every 20 minutes. The Maroon Bells scenic area features several hiking trails ranging from short hikes near Maroon Lake to longer hikes into the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness.
From Aspen, take Hwy. 82 to the roundabout on the west edge of town, choose the exit for Maroon Creek Road and keep going about 4.7 miles until you reach a welcome station. If you’re coming from Glenwood Springs, take Hwy. 82 south toward Aspen until you reach the roundabout (about 40 miles).

Year of Avalanche Debris | Backpacking Four Pass Loop (Clockwise) | Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness
Hiking Four Pass Loop from August 22-August 24, 2019 in a clockwise direction. I start my adventure in Aspen and park at the overnight parking at Buttermilk ski area being that the overnight parking at the trailhead is full. I take three buses up to the trailhead. Day one I hike to the base of West Maroon pass where I run into various avalanche debris and get caught in a small rainstorm. Day two I summit West Maroon Pass and Frigid Air pass. I trek through Fravert Basin camping halfway up Trail Rider Pass. Next morning I summit Trail Rider pass fairly quick and break for lunch at Snowmass Lake. I then summit Buckskin pass and finish out my trip getting a ride back down to my car.
