Colorado is home to some of the most remarkable mountain skylines in the world, but none of them compare to this iconic panorama of these two striped peaks in the Elk Mountains. Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak may not be the highest of the 14ers, but they are easily the most photogenic, especially with the mirrored lake at their base and the lush valleys to their sides. As one of Colorados most popular attractions, this landmark can be overwhelmingly busy during the summer and fall. If you are fortunate to grab a reservation slot, you will be awe-struck at just how stunning these mountains truly are.
