Maroon Peak as seen from the summit of neighboring Belleview Mountain.
Belleview Mountain as seen from West Maroon Pass. To reach the summit from here, 3rd class scrambling over typical loose Elk rock is required. The easiest route doesn't always follow the ridge crest, but I found it to be fairly well cairned.
Belleview Mountain and Maroon Peak as seen from just south of West Maroon Pass.
Part of the ridge connecting (13er) Belleview Mountain with (12er) Mount Bellview. The ridge is over two miles long and is a mix of easy walking and fun scrambling. I would really like to know why there are two peaks with the same name but slightly different spelling is such close proximity to each other.
There are great views up Rustler Gulch from the ridge. Precarious Peak, UN 13,232 and UN 13,260 are situated at its head.
Looking back at Belleview Mountain and the connecting ridge from near Mount Bellview. West Maroon Pass is right of center.
