I was in Aspen a couple of weeks ago at a conference and I finally made a hike I had thought about many years ago when skiing Big Burn at Snowmass - to the base of Maroon Bells, from Maroon lake to Crater Lake. Pretty easy, except that it takes place at 10,000 feet. There is a bus complete with tour guide that goes from Aspen Highlands up the valley to Maroon lake, to keep the auto traffic down. It was a very hot and dry day with beautiful views!
Here are Maroon Bells from Maroon Lake:

Ducks on Crater Lake! (including ducklings although none in this picture)
