#24About Maroon Peak
Maroon Peak towers at 14,163 feet (4,317 m) as one of the famous Maroon Bells. Known for its distinctive maroon-colored sedimentary rock, the peak is considered one of Colorado's most dangerous 14ers due to loose, rotten rock. The stunning beauty combined with serious technical challenges makes it a magnet for experienced mountaineers.
History
Part of the iconic Maroon Bells duo, this peak has earned a reputation as one of the 'Deadly Bells' due to the loose rock and numerous accidents. Despite the challenges, its incredible beauty near Aspen continues to attract climbers.
