Located just 10 miles west of Aspen, up Maroon Creek Road off Highway 82, stands the 14,000-foot peaks known as the Maroon Bells. While the Maroon Bells are touted as the most photographed place in Colorado, pictures simply don’t do the peaks justice. Listen to the sounds of traveling to the beautiful Maroon Bells Scenic Area.
In 2022, Aspen Public Radio launched an initiative to build, catalog, and archive an original “Sonic ID” audio library to preserve the diverse sound heritage of our mountain communities—and advance the station’s reputation as a community connector and innovator. Aspen Public Radio listeners can hear these audio vignettes on 91.5FM and 88.9FM throughout the broadcast schedule.
