An Intimate Hiking Adventure at Maroon Bells, Aspen, Colorado

There are few places in Colorado that leave you completely speechless.

Maroon Bells is one of them.

With crystal-clear alpine lakes reflecting snow-capped peaks, vibrant wildflowers, golden aspen groves, and some of the most breathtaking mountain scenery in North America, it’s easy to understand why couples travel from around the world to celebrate their love here.

For outdoor lovers, hikers, and adventurous souls, Maroon Bells isn’t simply a beautiful destination—it’s an experience.

Every visit feels different.

The crisp mountain air, the quiet trails, the sound of the wind moving through the aspens, and the towering 14,000-foot peaks have a way of reminding you to slow down and appreciate the moment.

Located just outside Aspen in the heart of the White River National Forest, Maroon Bells offers endless opportunities for adventure, from peaceful walks around Maroon Lake to scenic hikes through alpine meadows surrounded by Colorado’s iconic mountain landscape.

It was the perfect place for Amy and Ian.

Their relationship has always been rooted in simple moments together—road trips, hiking, spending time outdoors, and choosing experiences over extravagance. Instead of planning a traditional wedding, they envisioned something much more meaningful: an intimate courthouse ceremony followed by an unforgettable mountain adventure surrounded by the beauty of the Colorado Rockies.

Their “Merrymoon”—part wedding, part honeymoon—was the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple.

And I couldn’t have been more honored to document the beginning of this new chapter among one of Colorado’s most extraordinary landscapes.
