What is the story of the Maroon Bells? What forces created their bell shape? Hike down from Maroon Lake and look for clues hiding in the rocks that tell a tale of how the Maroon Bells have changed over time. Make observations of how erosion is a main character in this landscape’s story, and how erosion continues to actively change the landscape around us.
