Maroon Lake near Aspen is perfectly positioned to reflect the famous image of the Maroon Bells, which lures photographers, and fishing enthusiasts from around the world.

Hanging Lake

Stunningly green Hanging Lake appears to cling to the edge of a mountainside near Glenwood Springs. It’s surrounded by moss-covered rocks, while wisps of water gently cascade quietly off the cliff into its tranquil waters.

Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods is home to otherworldly red-rock formations in the shapes of kissing camels, cathedral spires, praying hands and sleeping giants.

Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park

Beauty from Ashes

Climbing the highest paved through road in America, drivers can see all the way to Wyoming in the north, to Colorado’s vast plains, Longs Peak to the east and all the way to the headwaters of the Colorado River in the west.

Independence Pass

Famous for its gorgeous fall foliage as well as expansive views and more fourteeners (peaks that stand more than 14,000 feet above sea level) that can be seen from this spot than any other place in the state, including three of the five tallest: La Plata Peak, Mount Massive and the tallest, Mount Elbert, driving Independence Pass is a must experience.

Sky Pond, Rocky Mountain National Park

There are plenty of lesser-known hidden gems too, like Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park, an emerald-hued glacier lake.

Boulder and The Flatirons
