Maroon Bells Pictures

When we first went to the Maroon Bells on Friday they looked like this - grey sky and with a snowstorm across the mountains.  It was pleasant out and we took a walk to the far side of the lake, but definitely not very pretty.

Every now and then the snowstorm would clear and we could see the entire mountain.  But much of the time they were covered by a snowstorm.

When we went back on Sunday, we had a clear, blue sky and the mountains were much, much prettier!  Much nicer, altho it was also quite a bit colder.

Here's a closeup of the mountain.  You can clearly see the distinctive diagonal lines.  There was a sign stating how dangerous it was to climb these mountains.  It mentioned how the rock was "rotten"!  I never heard of rotten rock, but apparently it is quite unstable.  The sign went on to state that several experienced climbers had died on the Maroon Bells.  

Sure is pretty!  Enjoy!
