“The 12-mile West Maroon Pass trail, outside Aspen, goes up and over the Maroon Bells to Crested Butte. It’s about 12,500 feet, and from the top, there are great views of some 14,000-foot peaks. Then it goes over the pass and down the other side and—in the late summer—into a field filled with glorious wildflowers. I hiked it last August, and we were wading through them up to our hips. It started to rain, and it was almost like the flowers were rejoicing, sucking up the water.” —Governor John Hickenlooper
