Maroon Bells

One of the most photographed mountains in the country is Maroon Bells.  In theory, the only way to get there is to take a $6 shuttle bus from Aspen Highlands.  I say in thoery because there were lots of cars at the top and seemingly nothing to stop you from driving up if you tell the security guy as the base of the road that you are going for a horse ride at the ranch up the road.  But I digress.   It was a beautiful day and a relaxing 20 minute ride.
