About 2 hours round trip and heavy rocky paths. Not too kid friendly with all the rocks and boulders, but a great view at the top.

Great hike! Took us inexperienced hikers 3 hours. Toward summit packed snow slippery. Many people with dogs. Gorgeous weather. Trees down in spots. Snow covering trail in an area making it difficult.

Nice little lake with great mountain views on every side. Sits on upstream of the more famous Maroon lake. Hike two miles out and back if you could, you'd not regret the experience.

A very beautiful place in Maroon bells. It’s a 3.5 mile hike with 700 feet elevation. It’s definitely worth it!
