Backpacking the Maroon Bells 4 Pass Loop

If you've decided to backpack the Maroon Bells 4 Pass Loop, then you've made a good choice. The Maroon Bells area is one of the most scenic portions of Colorado. Sure, there are other parts of Colorado that are more remote, and perhaps just as inspiring. But there is something about the red and crimson hued peaks contrasting with the verdant greens of the meadows below that has a unique appeal to me. It's a magical place like nowhere else on earth.
