Level: ◆◆ Expert/Extreme

Length: 11-13 miles with very steep, rocky, uneven terrain and exposed areas.

Join us for our signature event on a trip over Colorado’s most scenic mountain pass!

From the Crested Butte side of the Elk Range, we’ll ascend West Maroon Pass, cross the Elk Mountain Divide, then descend beneath the dramatic flanks of
Maroon Bells and Pyramid Peak.

This hike is easily Colorado’s most spectacular wildflower adventure – the combination of lush vegetation, alpine tundra, and colorful geology are unrivaled.

We’ll enjoy dinner in Aspen (meal not included) and return to Crested Butte via shuttle.

Transportation to the trailhead and from Aspen back to Crested Butte included.
