## Natural Features

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the 2.3 million-acre White River National
Forest is a place of serenity and adventure, boasting eight wilderness areas,
four defined seasons and ten peaks surpassing 14,000 feet in elevation.  
  
The White River National Forest was established in 1891 as the White River
Plateau Timber Reserve; the second such reserve to be named in the United
States. In 1905, the newly formed Forest Service was given authority of the
reserve.  
  
Long before this designation, the area was home to the Ute Indians who
followed herds of elk and bison on their seasonal migrations.  
  
Wildlife in the area abounds. Bighorn sheep navigate rocky ridges and bull elk
bugle at dusk. Scenic rivers sustain populations of cutthroat, rainbow and
brown trout. Alpine regions provide habitat for pika and ptarmigan.

Maroon Bells dominate this setting. Hemmed in by Maroon Lake, aspen groves and
evergreen forests, Maroon Bells Amphitheater is designed for interpretive
talks, and is especially popular for recreational events and weddings.  
  
  
  
The amphitheater is available for use by the general public and can be
reserved for private events. The maximum number of people allowed at the
amphitheater is 50. Receptions are not allowed at this location, but can be
held at the East Maroon Portal Picnic site, approximately a four mile drive.

Reservations are not accepted for Fridays and Saturdays in June, July and
August; Reservations are not accepted for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in
September and October.

## Recreation

There are hiking trails of varying length and difficulty. Trails next to
Maroon Lake are fairly flat and wheelchair and stroller accessible. Beyond
Maroon Lake, trails become steeper and rocky.  
  
For hikers and backpackers, the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness epitomizes
the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Starting from the Maroon Bells Scenic Area,
the West Maroon Trail winds through aspen groves, crosses streams, and
switchbacks through forests. Climbing to alpine terrain, backpackers will find
high mountain lakes and a smattering of wildflowers in early summer. Check
specific regulations for camping in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Area.

## Natural Features

The amphitheatre has views of the surrounding Maroon Bells-Snowmass
Wilderness. This wilderness is one of the five original Colorado wilderness
areas designated by the 1964 Wilderness Act. Its scenic value exudes from its
aspen groves, meadows of wildflowers, and dark forests of spruce and fir that
rise up from the valleys to alpine landscapes. Here, bighorn sheep, pika, and
ptarmigan find habitat above timberline.  
  
Towering over glacial valleys at over 14,000 feet in elevation, the Maroon
Bells are the most recognizable peaks in the Elk Mountains. The Maroon Bells
are unique in the Rockies in that they are made up of metamorphic sedimentary
mudstone that gives the peaks their maroon color and unstable nature for
climbing.

Prairie Point Campground (CO)

## Overview

At an elevation of 9,000 feet, Prospector Campground is in the heart of Summit
County in the White River National Forest.  
  
The sites offer open views to Dillon Reservoir and several mountain ranges, an
ideal setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation.  
  
Due to the pine beetle infestation and removal of hazard trees, there is
little or no shade in the campground.

## Recreation

Dillon Reservoir, often referred to as Lake Dillon, is the greatest draw to
this campground. At 3,233 acres and 26.8 miles of shoreline, Dillon Reservoir
is an ideal spot for fishing, boating, and sailing. The reservoir supports a
healthy population of rainbow trout and brown trout. Occasionally, a few
cutthroat trout make their way into the lake from feeder streams.  
  
Opportunities for hiking and biking include more than 7 paved miles of the
50-mile Summit County trail system.  
  
From the reservoir, the Old Dillon Reservoir trail is a favorite. This short,
easy trail has spectacular views of the Tenmile Range and the Continental
Divide. The Old Dillon Reservoir was built in the 1930s to supply water to the
original town of Dillon, which is now covered by the new Dillon Reservoir.  
  
For those wanting a bit more solitude, hiking in the Ptarmigan Wilderness area
is a wonderful escape from the crowds.

## Overview

Silver Bar Campground is located approximately five miles southwest of Aspen,
Colorado, on the banks of Maroon Creek. The campground is adjacent to the
Maroon Bells Welcome Station. This small, primitive, campground features four
tent-only, walk-in sites with centralized vault toilets only a few yards away
from each campsite. A single accessible campsite is located near the toilets
and water source.  
  
The campground sits at an elevation of 8,460 feet, allowing guests to

hikers through high-elevation (10,000+ feet) mountain passes. Climbing through
alpine terrain, backpackers will find high mountain lakes and a smattering of
wildflowers in mid-summer. Check specific regulations for camping in the
Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Area.  
  
For day hikers and horseback riders, nearby Maroon Creek Trail offers a less
crowded alternative to viewing the Maroon Bells, Pyramid Peak and the entire
Maroon valley. The gentle, flat terrain offers scenic stops that are great for
picnicking.

## Natural Features

The Maroon Bells Scenic Area is surrounded by the Maroon Bells-Snowmass
Wilderness. This wilderness is one of the five original Colorado wilderness
areas designated by the 1964 Wilderness Act. Its scenic value exudes from its
aspen groves, meadows of wildflowers, and dark forests of spruce and fir that
rise up from the valleys to alpine landscapes. Here, bighorn sheep, pika, and
ptarmigan find habitat above timberline.  
  
Towering over glacial valleys at over 14,000 feet in elevation, the Maroon
Bells are the most recognizable peaks in the Elk Mountains. The Maroon Bells
are unique in the Rockies in that they are made up of metamorphic sedimentary
mudstone that gives the peaks their maroon color and unstable nature for
climbing.

## Nearby Attractions

## Overview

Windy Point is located near Dillon Reservoir at an elevation of 9,000 feet in
the White River National Forest. The site consists of a group camp and a group
picnic shelter that can accommodate up to 100 people each.  
  
With views to Dillon Reservoir and several mountain ranges, Windy Point is
ideal for larger groups seeking recreation and relaxation. Due to the pine
beetle infestation and removal of hazard trees, there is little or no shade at
Windy Point.

## Recreation

Dillon Reservoir, often referred to as Lake Dillon, is the greatest draw to
Windy Point and an ideal spot for fishing, boating, and sailing. Anglers will
find that the reservoir supports a healthy population of rainbow and brown
trout, with an occasional cutthroat trout finding its way into the lake from
feeder streams.  
  
Opportunities for hiking and biking include more than 7 paved miles of the
50-mile Summit County trail system.  
  
From the reservoir, the Old Dillon Reservoir Trail is a favorite. This short,
easy trail has spectacular views of the Tenmile Range and the Continental
Divide. The Old Dillon Reservoir was built in the 1930s to supply water to the
original town of Dillon, which is now covered by the new Dillon Reservoir.
