    Road cycling

    Maroon Lake is an alpine lake situated at the center of the Maroon Bells Scenic Area and sits at an elevation of 9,585 feet. The view across Maroon Lake, with North Maroon Peak in the background, is the most photographed scene in Colorado. It can be very crowded in the summer; however, due to the limited access for cars, biking becomes a great option.
