Maroon Bells Reflect in Maroon Lake

Autumn's touch softens the rugged peaks of the Maroon Bells as they stand guard over the tranquil waters of Maroon Lake within Aspen-Sopris Wilderness area near Aspen, Colorado. A tapestry of fall colors blankets the forested slopes while the lake mirrors the azure sky above, interrupted only by the dark silhouettes of rocks protruding from its glassy surface.
