2008 Maroon Bells Colorado Rockies

Lance, Jerry Meral, and Steve participated in an intense yet beautiful hike through the Maroon Bells west of Aspen. We hiked five times over 12,500 foot passes. Lightening caused some trepidation and rain forced a mid-trip change in plans that still yielded great scenery and good times. We lost one team member to exhaustion. Steve credited the hike's rigor to his successful ascent of Mt Kilimanjaro five weeks later.
