It is, believe me. Even before I saw your beautiful shots, I circled this one on my map.
Excellent captures and a beautiful location!
Very nice. I especially like the second image, as there aren't intrusions from branches in the foreground.

It was on my bucket list. But thanks to your lovely pictures I don't have to go there. Guess I'll move on to ...

I have an old image somewhere of my family camping with Maroon Bells in the background in the mid 60's. These days there are so many visitors, you have to take a shuttle bus to the site. It's still worth the visit though. One of the iconic views in the Colorado Rockies. I will try to find that old photo and post it.
