Maroon Bells

We headed out this morning to the Maroon Bells. It isn't far at all from Snowmass and the drive was much easier for Finley. We got to the guard station and realized we were $20 short of cash to buy a National Parks pass. Luckily, the Ritz Carlton a couple miles away had an ATM, so after a quick detour, we were ready for our hike. We hiked all the way past the lake up to the area where waterfalls were listed on the map. After hiking and hiking, we never saw any waterfalls, so we headed back. I think the recent snowfalls and lack of snow melting made for dry waterfalls. We turned around and picked a nice table for our picnic lunch. We headed home after our late lunch, it was a really pretty morning.
