50 Travel Destinations Every American Simply Must Visit In Their Lifetime

26. Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness – Central Colorado

This is another beautiful park that will have you hiking to your heart’s content, or you can sit near the creek and just have a picnic lunch while you observe the wildlife in their natural habitat. There are at least 100 miles of trails for you to explore through the Elk Mountains, so be sure to bring your camera with you so that you can capture all of its beautiful imagery. One of the peak times to visit is when the leaves start changing their colors during the fall.
