The Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Area draws thousands of mountaineers and hikers each year. 14,000 foot Maroon Bells can provide a challenging hunt.
The steepness and ruggedness of the terrain in this unit can be extremely challenging. Horses are recommended to get enough gear into sheep country. Beware of afternoon thunderstorms above 11,500' in elevation.
