6. Maroon Bells

Not to be confused with Maroon 5, you’ll find Maroon Bells near Aspen. Maroon Bells are two of the state’s most well-known mountains. Additionally, they are reported to be among the nation’s “most photographed mountains.”

They offer visitors memorable views and are highlighted by alpine lakes, forests, and mountain meadows. If you like colorful foliage the best time to visit is in the fall when you can cruise along Independence Pass Summit. This popular high mountain pass will not disappoint you.

The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park are close to Canon City. Here you can take a stroll over the nation’s highest suspension bridge. Try not to be afraid because veteran visitors say that the views you’ll enjoy from the center of the bridge that stretches from both ends of the valley are “unreal.” You can also experience the gorge from a gondola, a train, or even white-water rafting on the Arkansas River.
